Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman replied to evosteve's topic in Club Boardroom & Website - Evolution & Issues
@Nemesis while your rant (tm) is valid and justified, and should be heard. This is the issues specifically related to the Club website and forum. It’s also members only, so the chances of anyone from Lancaster seeing it, are very, very slim, I’m afraid. However, any admin can move it, and the related posts to the Start Line if you like, for maximum exposure… -

I didn't have any problems and they were super cheap considering I put my westfield in a hedge last November 😪 and it was a total worse off. Not much difference in price to what it was before I had the accident -

Damn shame I will no longer be at loton or castle Coombe. Got rear ended on way back from exeter fuel festival. The guy who hit me said he had been admiring the car as we drove along only to not notice lights going red on m5 j30 roundabout. Insurance job so will take ages.

Sorry, Dave, for the late reply. Unfortunately, not, just the one in there, I'm afraid. -
Thanks colonel. As the guy who hit me is going through insurance I am worried costs will get bloated. I can fix it myself if that is allowed. Good point about getting chassis and roll bar mounts checked.
-
I'd be surprised if it could be repaired so well that the repair was undetectable, so if the insurer will pay, then surely a new rear panel is the way to go, but also as has been said, insist on a repairer who has experience of seven style cars, who can (professionally) check the chassis, and then see. If the repairs can be carried out for £4,000. then I cannot imagine the insurers would dream of writing off a 5 year old Westfield as the value of the car would be far far higher than that!

I know it’s easy to do and that you’re anxious to get it back on the road, but please slow down, take a deep breath, think logically and do things in order. Get it checked over (the frame specifically) to see if there’s hidden damage (hope not). Once you’ve done that, you can look at alternatives. To my eyes, that bodywork is repairable by a good body shop, and the wheel arch replaceable (put an ad in Parts Wanted) for a lot less than the cost of new.

Just been looking on westfield parts site . If they can actually supply the parts, I recon i need a ns fw wheel arch in black £624, orange rear fw centre £1649, orange fw roll bar covers £268. That assumes they salvage my lights and stone guards. £2500 parts and 3 days labour so I am guessing circa £4000 . Given car is 5 years old do you think they might write it off ?

What used to be one of the most challenging corners of any track ruined by the additition of a chicane ! -
I'd love to say my arms are that big, as the photo does make me look fairly jacked, but it is mostly the distortion!

No just meandering down the East Coast to Suffolk. Doing a Euro trip in September, in the car.

Passed you both yesterday morning. I was heading South on A1 and you were heading North. Probably just before you got caught in a wee bit of rain near Morpeth.

I love the angle distortion of the pic or do you just have massive arm muscles like a fiddler crab🤣

Thanks guys lots of useful advice. As its an insurance repair I don't think I can make repairs prior to claims process , so I have got in touch with loton and castle Coombe about pulling out , fingers crossed I get credit notes or refund as over subscribed events

Agree with this..also looks like your sides are black so shouldn't be colour match issues and would be far better than repair.. assuming new parts is available
-
If it’s going through insurance I would push for replacing the whole rear tub. Unlike the ZK bodywork which includes the side panels the FW is a much easier job being only the rear panel. Removing it will also then give you the opportunity to check for any hidden damage at the same time.
