I've decided to rebuild my 818. We have stripped the frame of all donor and Factory Five parts and will order a new frame and body panels from Factory Five in the coming days. I am looking forward to building an 818 with some experience under my belt and a fully tested wiring harness.

Does anyone want the damaged frame and body panels? Best offer over $100. You can see pictures at http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/CRBasin/library/

Some have wondered why the engine moved forward in the crash. It turns out that the transmission mount failed and the engine moved forward in the frame. The engine mounts may have also failed, but I didn't examine them closely before putting the engine down on a moving dolly. I will post pictures the link above.

Happy Holidays,

John
