That sucks :( do you think it's repairable or a write off?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I'd say 200 would fix that bar the body work, but as you said I'm probably missing out on things

An axle can be changed on the ground though and there not overly hard to do or expensive atm

Hope it goes well for you anyway mate :)

It sucks, any idea how much you'll be getting for whiplash? Broady is selling his B if you were after another.
