Maude the mx5

Soo did my first day at Birmingham wheels Sunday had a mega day, the little car was mint did struggle with grip 185s and wet track was hard work even with only 20psi in the tyres. This was my 1st run of the day

Got the feeling I was getting in the way on the track so I went down to the play pen
felt like I was starting to get it towards the end of the day. Then this happened...
yerp hit the wall at about 50mph snapped a tie rod dented the rear 1/4 the door the wing fucked one of my wheels, the bad thing about this was I drove to the event so had to get a tie rod from home which was an hour n 20 from Birmingham wheels was a mission to get it sorted so I could drive it home. The shit thing was I am booked in to drive at Santa pod today but my little car wasn't in my fit state. The new brakes are mint, I had to buy all new callipers in the end as 3 of mine was fucked!! Cost me a small fortune. Oh and I did use my hydro... In the right or wrong way.

I'm unsure what to do with the car now don't if it's worth putting more money into or not, this is the damage. the wing doesn't really bother me it's the rear 1/4. Any ideas??

Bad luck about the crash, personally id just pull out as much of it as possible and make sure its mechanically sound and drift it some more!

this...

if you're really bothered about cosmetics then a wing is what? £15-20 off mx5nutz, a door maybe £25 and just bash the quarter out as much as possible. rear over fenders are available for them so it's no big deal
 
It's easy to pull out the rear fender, because you got alot of space from the inside. Fix it and drift it.

Would you tell me what kind of exhaust this is?
 
Changed the rack to the depowered one and put some rack spacers (that fit). Iv beaten the dents out and it's ready to go again!
Looks pretty good just for a set of 6mm lock spacers.

Birmingham wheels, luckily it didnt do the front 1/4 so ive just pulled as much out as i could, bit of filler and paint to make it more presentable, and a new door :)
 
I've stuck with the 5, it's changed s bit this year. brought some arches n a hard top there almost no rust on it started cutting to fit the arches the bad side painted my wheels done couldn't decide on a colour, this is what I ended up with.
