On my way to football tonight and in a bit of a rush locked up all four wheels and used a lovely focus c - max to stop me.

new front end, and some engine ancilleries. good bit is the drivers side had some rust only minor but hey. a panels needed doing too. and scuttle hmmm could get a bargin out of this.

for the record, i wasnt speeding, i was wearing my belt, i was insured fully comp, taxed and tested.

Was it a straight road with patchy ice, doing almost twice the speed limit and were you drifting. LOL

Seriously though, Bummer!!

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I was just thinking of our friend too! I believe it was bumpy ice as well!

Well at least this might kick start a nice rebuild. Although we all know what that means, way too much time and money will be spent!

Well i suppose that means the rusty slam panel is gone.

I will speak to the insurance again today and see if a fg or cf front can replace all the metal.

other than that i can begin the gathering of bits for my 16v
