Rolled car today
Wont go into huge detail but my UK Classic was rolled today at Brands Hatch track day - driver is fine thankfully - car was driven home.
I have spent thousands on the car getting it up to track spec (brakes, seats, roll cage, handling, ECU remap etc)
Its looks worse than it is, it drives ok and nothing apart from body work bent.
I dont know if I should cut my losses and bin it, or take it somewhere and get it checked out. Any places in Surrey/London that can look at it and tell me if its worth keeping or if its bent and scrap heap fodder?
Insurance company as expected wont pay out.

Agree, its your best option mate. Get in contact with Jap Performance Parts : Home they always have a few subaru shells.
Better yet, I have a subaru wagon shell with engine and gearbox in place, if needed.

Are the a-pillars damaged,if not you can just buy a new roof skin for circa £300 and its only spot welded on. Otherwise if its just wings and doors etc, then you can just buy new or 2nd bits. It may not be as bad as you think

I know how you feel, done it my self 3 weeks ago infront of 22,000 people at the truck super prix.
The annoying thing is it was not my fault. The red mk 1 cossie turbo escort stuffed me going into paddock.

Stephen, hate to say this but I was there at the Truck Racing and saw it happen! And I thought I hope that dont happen to me! Exactly the same pace too!
Will think about re-shelling but not sure if I have the time/energy.

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but what a nice car pal!
Got any pictures anywhere of it? What rear wing is that?

Is your cage weld in or bolt in and did the pillars survive?
Mine looked pretty sick untill I removed the front end panels and to be honest you would not know it had been over. Got a replacment screen and it nearly fits just got to jack it out up above the passenger. Was toying with the changing the roof skin but appently they are not easy to remove.
Dont laugh but the rear wing is a ripspeed job from halfords!
When i bought the car it came with no spoiler, i was goin to fit a standard scooby high wing but they weigh a tonne. Was in halfords getting some oil and saw the wing. It weighs nothing and cost £80. It is adjustable for what its worth but never noticed any difference.
I will put some more pics in view my scooby later when i can find the guys website.
