Burnsie the rally wagon - New Rally Skin is Complete

Body Repair has been completed!

 

The cause of the crash was found when we realized the rear struts had COLLAPSED in on themselves (see photos of the damaged rear strut tops). Basically turning the Subaru rear suspension into a pogo stick.  Dave Clark did an amazing job of getting this rally car back into perfect shape and ready for the paint and body shop.  The welds are fantastic... The bodywork, nearly flawless.

 

Now... off to paint... - Jamie
