Spec Boxster Build

Tom, are you being serious or sarcastic here?

If serious... my advice is do not get trapped in endless repairs bills - car #254 will never 'feel' straight anymore/anyway. Second advice is to buy a roller and swap the racing bits over bud. I bet it will be 50% cheaper that way and you'll be back on the track twice faster also I'm sure

I hear what you're saying and I felt the same when I first looked at it. The bottom line is that the car will be disassembled and then sent to a professional body shop for evaluation. Then we'll make a determination whether to repair or replace the chassis.

I appreciate your comments about endless repair bills and it never feeling right again. For now, let's wait and see what is really damaged and how badly. I hope that will point us in the right direction.

Glad you're doing fine, Tom.

Sad to see the damage, especially since it was caused by someone else's mistake. But that's the dark side to the sport we love and sign up for.

I'll be at COTA in 2 wks. Hopefully it will be a clean 3 days.

Good luck in whatever direction you go - rebuild or replace. Hope you're not down for too long.

Bummer. Glad you're okay. FWIW I think it might not be worth the effort to fix. Mine was hit in the same corner (although not quite as badly from the looks of it) and was written off.





Might be cheaper just to buy a roller or something with damage in the rear and swap your parts over, pending the results of the assessment of course. Best of luck.
