Holy sh*t! Hope your alright? What speed were you going?

It's shows how bad a composite front end is though in a crash..

I don't think a metal front would have been much better chap it's the bulkhead that's took it all with the engine and subby wolloped against it and I was doing 45-50  ish max as I only had 3 and a bit cylinders at most lol but locked up when I put the anchor out the window so my tyres turned into skis

Sorry to hear about this. after all the hard work in building this, its a shame to see this end for it.
