Wow. Hokey smokes, that's some off-roading. I'm really glad you're OK. Now that your wits are (I hope) returned, allow me to welcome you to the replacing-bent-pieces club.

Held up. As I noticed tonight the sill bars on both sides got bent, more so on the drivers side.tiFreak wrote:yikes, how did the cage hold up?

I have a number of pictures of the car (I went right down to where it was located) and of the recovery. The pictures do not do it justice for the distance it was down the hill.

Re: New project a comin'
I had a few minutes to work on Ross this morning, despite family commitments. I was able to get the hood open, pull the plugs and clear the cylinders of oil. Put in some clean plugs and it started right up, albeit with a cloud of white smoke, it diminished in time. Radiator support is pushed back, but the radiator is intact. Looking underneath, the connection between the exhaust manifold and the cat leaks a bit. Driver side door sill definitely took a little shot, gas tank is pushed up on the drivers side, but doesn't seem to be leaking. No gas smell is apparent right now, but there was after the wreck. Passenger side rear suspension arm is bent.
So Nick, it runs and drives, you are welcome to come drive it, I've cleaned most of the dirt out of the drivers seat.

Re: New project a comin'
You should try and contact that guy that was trying to sell an RS shell on hillclimb forums. Should have all the parts you need or if the cage isn't able to be saved just do a swap.
