Well today was not the most successful track day I have ever done. 170 km/h into the hairpin and overcooked it, I managed to slow enough to nudge the Armco at about 30km/h plenty of damage to deal with.

That should polish right out

Ooooo look, a pirate F !

Considering how long you've been racing you have managed to avoid bumping her for quite some time.

Adds character, although silver duct tape may look better .... just a suggestion.

Whoops!
Hopefully it's still straight and repairable.

Actually the first time I have done anything other than mechanical. A case of my balls being bigger than my talent this time.

I haven't had a really good look yet but it should be fixable. Pity it's my daily drive though.

What is the spares situation like in Oz. I know they are an expensive car over there so it's never going to be a cheap fix. If you need any help from this end don't hesitate to ask.

Parts are a bit tough to find out here but fortunately after stripping it down today, things don't look quite as bad as I first thought. I'll still need to find a new front bumper support bar and the drivers side head light, indicator and fog light, but I think I can save the front bumper, drivers side guard and bonnet. Time to learn how to plastic weld.

Thanks for the offer mate, I may well take you up on that.

Oh and a very kind mate has insisted that I borrow his MGC to drive to work until I can fix the F.

Good hear it is not as bad as it first looked.

I bought a pair of headlights a while back and was thinking of doing a headlight modification but I reckon the drivers headlight would be more useful to you.

So from the parts needed;

front bumper support bar - Is it possible to get this fabricated?
drivers side head light - sourced
drivers side indicator (amber) - needed
drivers side fog light - needed

I don't mind organising the postage for these items if they are sent to me.

I can't offer any parts and other on here are far more knowledgable than I regarding repair advice, but.........

Paul's offer of help has reinforced my faith in humankind. And it takes a lot to stir my heart of flint

Good work fella, and good luck with the repairs Bacchus.
I can offer a bit of advice, come to think of it: the one in the middle is the brake.

Might be able to help, with front bumper support. I will check it out tomorrow.
I definitely have a amber blinker, the little clip is busted.

That's great Davem, those clips break on a lot of the indicators, like you say fixable.

OK we're getting there, just need a fog light and we are almost ready to go.

The T-Bar, we never leave a man behind.
