That was my first thought, but the left rear corner is very fawked, I might just chuck a new tub on, tee'd one up for $150

Must be about 1/4 past roll cage time though

Actually not that serious, I wasnt even in it at the time
I was A-framing it back from a days playing, along a shingle road with a big ridge of shingle down the center.......... Teh Zook decided it wanted to be on the opposite side of the road to my Surf.....started the nasty tankslap then dropped into the ditch on the side, dug the RR wheel in and parted company with the Surf, bashed into a tree, and ended up upside down 15 feet down a bank up against a farmers fence....
Mr Farmer was really helpful, snipped the fence, rolled it onto its feet. Towed it home feeling very lucky it didn't drag my Surf down there with it Lucky the coupling was for a 50mm towball, and I have a 1 7/8 ball on teh surf

You wouldn't be the first to get get on loose metal with an A frame. Few years ago a mate A framing on State Highway 1 around a corner loose metal roadworks at night didnt see any signs and it pulled him off the road stuffed 2 vehicles

might be a good idea to drop the farmer a dozen beer

Bugger, did you do this to/from kanuka?

Done it the same day, he was really good about it, cut up his fence, helped me out bigtime. Some farmers can be the complete opposite
