Unlucky Chris, sh*t happens to all of us at times, let it be known that was one quick vx so be good to see it back out there but yr call obviously.....best wishes whatever you decide to do, will always remember our burn ups with a big smile!

[Firthy]

Oh no doesn't look too bad to me though.... hope you can get it fixed soon

At least the clam wasn't mint to start with!

stop crying and lets rebuild it dude.

 

Chin up

 

or buy a honda powered lotus

 

oh wait

Don't give up Chris, it's a sickening feeling I know but no one got hurt and you have the skills to rebuild it, this time even better.

Like I said in my Facebook message what could you even remotely replace it with for the money?

How about ditching the screen, doors etc and going for that 2-11 style superlight spec!

Crash box

[vocky]

clam, crashbox, rad, front under tray, bonnet hinge - usual stuff

 

windsceen is a pain, but not the end of the world

 

looks like an easy fix so far, got any pics of the brake and clutch master cylinders ?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

[pete-r]

That looks about the same as the way my headlights point

[Exmantaa]

Strip the front to see the real damage. Crashbox doesn't look to be harmed that much... (only the flat bottom where the stud is ripped out?)

I'm feeling your pain, but at least you know your car inside out and it's all fixable.

I pick up a clam Thursday
Which now leaves me needing a wind screen

Tempted by the poly screen anyone got the pros and cons
Thinking weight saving

The first time you use your wipers it will be ruined. Polycarb scratches easily.

Sorry to see this Chris but looks like you’re on the rebuild so 👍
Don’t go with Joes idea...🙈

Or maybe go for a heated windscreen option; although that probably comes without the surround and must be transferred over. Heated is nice on track!

Chris,''tis but a scratch! Put it back together. It'll be hard to find a suitable replacement that will give you the same bang for your buck.

For ONCE, Joe is right, just get it sorted.

[Doctor Ed]

in the scheme of These things thats a scratch. call it a track car, patch back together, continue to flog it

[vocky]

it's surprising how easy the front end is to change on a vx, most parts are simply bolt on and even gluing another crashbox on is not difficult
