ooops

Post by Tim Urry »

this is my brothers 91 cooper he had a little accident. He had a choice if hitting a lorry or the side of the bridge as it was not wide enuf for the 2 of them. he has cut most of the front off as it was recked its a good excuse for a carbonfiber flip front though. he will also need to get a new subframe as the pasenger side is about a foot further back than it should be. he was not hurt wich i spose is an upside.

Ouch.............that does look a little twisted. What is the floor and the tunnel like after that?

Glad to hear that your brother is OK though.

the floor is not that bad. the door drops by an inch wen you open it and the gap at the top front is a bit bigger than it was before. and all the suspention and stering is bent.
