Niiiiiice!

If I wasn't going to rally my car, I'd be looking for composite panels. Too much heartbreak when you kiss a snowbank though...which happens more often then we'd like to admit!

Hi

I've found that fibre glass panels have a bit of flex before breaking where as the steel versions just bend.

Dave, don't you use the snowbanks in good Scandinavian style? On the rare occasions we have decent snow with better than 1/2m high banks I just love kissing the banks to aid turn in!

( we are fortunate here because when the snow is that high the roads are really clear 'cos us Brits hate snow dontcha know)

Just pulled the engine out for replacement with the 1200 Challenge motor.
