You haven't detailed what you meant by the driver "making good" on this (or something close to that end). I'm not asking for this to be made public but I am just saying it appears, based upon that prior comment, that it would be taken care of by the offending party.

IF that is the case, the most obvious answer is to have it pulled on a bench, source all of the necessary parts, and paint/reassemble. Forward the bill.

I've been there...with a track car, in flames and track damage - it sucks and can be extremely expensive. More so, often, than a hot rod or stock car. Is your reaction (emotion/disappointment) just related to "that" part of this event? If so, you have to get past that quickly - its the reality of our hobby.

All the best in whatever you do...

The driver that crashed the car is going to pay to have it fixed. He's wants to pay for all repairs. I won't be charging him for every little thing. He's a good friend and the one who introduced me to the track. Counting pennies between friends won't settle well with me.

When I did HPDE events the instructors always said its not a matter of "if" its a matter of "when". These things happen when your on the track. Now I've been there too. This is a crazy hobby and we do! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Yes Sir - the "when" part!

I'm glad I got that out of the way in my 1st Skip Barber Formula Ford race! I was in 3rd @ Sebring on the 1st lap when a guy divebombed me in Turn 10. I did 3 barrel-rolls in the Air and landed on the wheels. The only thing that happened was the LF Suspension went up over center. Dorsey Schroeder was the working Instructor in 10, he ran out, jumped on the A-Arm & it popped back. I continued the race - I remember it like was yesterday (it was 1987).

Those break easily. Also, you're missing the big cup washer ...

Looks like the trans mount got a little hot from the exhaust.

- it ain't gonna be cheap

when you get the full cost estimate, be sure to let us know

long time ago a guy pranged my Citabria & it cost me an engine rebuild

- had to sue him once he realized the cost was well beyond his good intentions

If its costs a lot I wouldn't be comfortable with that. I would just find a shell and switch everything over. I bet he won't even tell my the price.

Could be, I've run those WEVO bushing for years. They never were affected by the exhaust before. Guess I need to build a heat shield and wrap the header.
Found those cups for the trans mounts. I think I tried to install them before and they didn't fit with the WEVO mounts. Maybe I remember this wrong, its been a while.

Update.
We didn't have to re clip the car. Its damn close to be ready for paint.
New front bumper. Had to increase the size of the oil cooler entry (thats what all the tape is about).
Also fitted, not pictured, a 914-6 GT front valance.
Working on getting the alignment done. It doesn't have enough negative camber right now on the passenger side. As a street car its about perfect but because its a track car were looking to get around 1.5-2 negative.
Hope to do a test day on February. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Wow, really turned out nice Shane! Glad it went this route instead of the clip. I'd like to come see it sometime in person. It appears you did the trunks in tangerine, is that going to be the new color? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Would love some instruction on how to do the dzus fasteners for the bumper too. I've never actually installed them myself and have been meaning to do my bumpers with them instead of the bolts.

Happy for ya bud! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

More like rattle can orange. I do have a 70s style paint scheme in mind. Just need to get the alignment sorted before I add 50lbs of bondo.
When I get it done I hope it will look as good as you Team Falken Awesome car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Those fasteners are pretty straight forward. There was some trail and error with the side ones. I bought a kit from racer parts wholesale and went to town. Think I have enough for your car left. I plan only using those fasteners on the bumper to get to the lights for night events. (if we make it that long) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thanks for the complements guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
