Simon,
I am saddened to see the pictures of your damaged car but from what i can see it will be a straight forward repair and if i can be of any assistance please call.
As Chris said i had the mother and father of racing accidents at Oulton Park 7 weeks ago and destroyed the front and rear in a 90mph "flying" shunt into the armco.

Yours is a piece of cake to repair so don,t worry too much. Because of Gulf and racing commitments i have worked flat-out and it is now back together and i start respraying tomorrow. Get Chris to get his man to knock up a new front for you and yours will only take a week to have sorted.

Your front brakes may be OK. It could be that you need to install an inline pressure adjusting valve so that you can balance your braking system properly.

As only your front pontoon is bent slightly it will be repairable without the need to strip it down much more and your repair costs will be minimal.

Regards,

Graham @ GTA.
