RFChris Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Well...its up to Doc to elaborate, but lets just say the Prefect shall never see the road again....probably.
Mr.Sumo Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 that don"t sound good at all m8 Whats happened
RFChris Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Urm....it snapped. Seriously. I'll leave it to Doc now though, he knows more about this than i. Chris
Doc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Posted November 14, 2006 the round ones indeed Looks like the increased stiffness from fitting the XR2 suspension has broken the welding around the bulkhead and where the roof meets the rear scuttle ! Also one side by the rear passenger seat has broken too ! Sammyboy when he followed it said he could see flexing . Too dangerous to sell Sorry cmpod .. Just what i needed another huge project car
Admin Vista Posted November 14, 2006 Admin Report Posted November 14, 2006 Sorry to hear that guys, look on the bright side though, it could have pulled itself apart at 70mph on the M6. Saved by a dodgy fuel tank eh?
Gareth Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Holy Fook!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was lucky m8. Shame about the prefect
jay Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 buggar, thats a kick in the dangles............
Cookie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Sorry to hear that guys, look on the bright side though, it could have pulled itself apart at 70mph on the M6. Saved by a dodgy fuel tank eh? To true mate, don't bear thinking about especially under the strain of such a long drive, as the saying goes 'everything happens for a reason' is very true in this case
SAMMYBOY Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 When i was driving behind Chris, it looked like the car was twisting....like a mini with a knackered subframe....I thought it was just the offset on the wheels But closer inspection has revealed the points Doc pointed out.....

If something had happened i couldnt forgive myself ... I may lose out with the sale of the car but my concience is intact
