Crashed my race car

[Rob Quantrell]

“Racing incident” today at Brands. Got tapped from behind and then collected another car. Subframe/steering/driveshafts seem intact but lots of damage to the headlight area.

Any idea how easy this is to replace? Is it a separate part? Photo of other side for reference

Thanks!

You’ll need a bodyshop to pull a lot of that mate. The only panel that’s a bolt on item is the slam panel. All the rest are spot welded on.
It doesn’t look like it’s taken the chassis leg on the n/s, but you can’t really tell from the angle the picture has been taken.

Thanks mate, that makes sense. More pics from the damaged side:

Chassis leg *looks ok from that shot tbh mate. Get a bodyshop to give it a once over and get their opinion though. If they reckon it looks ok, you’d probably get away with drilling spot welds and fitting new panels yourself. All depends on how good you are with a mig welder and setting up a jig to make sure the new panels go on in the correct place.

Tube/spaceframe front end? Or is that against regs?
