Ooof, looks bad Matta - wouldn't mind reading the thread on that? What happened? Get away unharmed?

Following on from Marto303's example of what not to do to a Westie, some of you may remember my attempt a couple of years back. Unfortunately a rebuild wasn't really an option!

 

Before (hours before)....

...and to prove that Westfields, rain, an oil slick and trees don't mix.....

Got another one 3 months later and 6 months after that my wife spoke to me again!  :)

Is that Windy's old car?

Yes it is Windy's car.  I recall that accident was a while back now.

Yes it was Windy's car originally and it really was a cracker - none of my cars since have come close to it.

 

Happened during the Scottish group's Applecross trip in 2011 and I came out of it much better than the car did but I can safely say it wasn't my weekend. I bought back the salvage and a number of parts found new homes in Westies all over the country I'm glad to say!

OK, so I know it's not finished, but here's my journey...

 

I started with this (yes, it isn't a Westy, but the full Sierra donor is in the back of the car, so counts towards the build!)

then saw the light and went to this on 7th June 2014:
