Huw,
Sorry to hear of your mishap glad you walked away. A number of years ago I
hit a 2ft tall rock on a highway exit ramp with my 83 GTI AKA Nazi go-cart
(loved that car). Nothing tore off but pushed the right side horn back
about 4". The tire was rubbing badly but I was able to pull the fender away
enough to drive it home, that was my exit how lucky. Body shop pulled the
chassis to very near true and I drove it for another couple years.
good luck,
JJS
P.S. The GTI when out in a blaze in on I 95 after a catastrophic coolant
leak and subsequent blown piston. Yah I was sure surprised when I took the
head off and one of the pistons was completely gone.
