Yes pal the engine is fine but the gearbox is smashed in half and the bellhousing is cracked

Bloody Hell Mike!.........That's one hell of a knock.
The tree stump you hit......is it that small one next to the car?

Glad to hear both are OK.

Yes it was the stump that is next to the car. After the crash the marshals put a bail therebit fe cking late

No as it would also need a bulkhead,bulkhead top,pair of chassis legs,N/S quarter panel and so on

Besides making the roll over spit from flatpack. Hoping to have it on the spit tomorrow then pics to follow

[lee bishop]

[GAZ W]

Them bloody pigeons get everywhere , theyve been shitting all over the underside of the car son

[Mikethepanel]

Made the very briefest of starts

[Mikethepanel]

Looks like the Deox-gel is a good product after all

Going to start to cut up BEG this weekend

Dont know whether this is of any use to you Mike, but I've got a shot blaster coming in to do my van in a couple of weeks. He blasted it about 4yrs ago and I primed the shell but never got around to getting the resto work started on it. I've got the shell booked in somewhere now so I'm getting the van blown over again. Might be easier for you than stripping it with chemicals & hard graft
