WOW! That sucks hard. Sorry to hear about that at any rate . . .sucks when bad things happen to good people and great drivers.

I won't even insult you by asking if you were dicking around, I'm sure you weren't. Is it recoverable, or are you just going to transfer to a different chassis?

Im gonna repair her. I have to cut out core support and weld a new one in. I also have to rewire some of the stuff for the relays.

I am just going to move all the fuses, relays, and battery into the cockpit. Just gonna completely rewire the car and remove any wiring I dont need.

I havent updated in awhile. Its been too cold to get any real work done on my car. I just started stripping the interior/exterior. All the metal/engine work is gonna be done in the spring.

Went out and took some pictures of her as she sits.

This is where she sleeps. I turned the motor over a few times by hand just to keep everything moving. I do this prob twice a week.

sucks man. btw just unplug the CAS and crank it with the starter it works better then spinning it with your hand tools since the starter spins the motor at about 200rpm and u do like 3 rpm not really doing anything lol

I could get the car on the road by the time the meet comes around but it just wouldnt be logical. haha. I cant turn the car over with the starter unless I hook it up directly. The harnesses are all torn out.
