Horror!!!

[GrifoV8]

A very sad day for me...

A 3 tonne steel roll was dropped on my three year restoration project after being prepared for finishing....

I am totally gutted...

[rednotdead]

Gutted for you.

[_Batty_]

thats awful

[smellyantz]

sorry to hear that.
thats soul distroying.
are you insured?
what car was it?

[firman]

That wasn't the Grifo was it?
Is it a complete loss or could it be jigged? Hope you found the bd that was responsible and dropped something nice and heavy on his pride and joy.

Mate thats is terrible... I have been quietly watching the other thread and was so excited to see it fully restored. I am gutted for you

[GrifoV8]

Yes it was the Grifo...

I expect there will be a long drawn out discussion over values, loss of a loved one, etc.

Very sad.

I do hope it proves viable to have it rebuilt, it appears to have survived from the A-pillars back ?

Seconded

[Iainrobertson]

No words mate, no words.

[rhinochopig]

At least you weren't working on it at the time.

[joesnow]

Really sorry to see this. Hope theres some silver lining to come.

[GrifoV8]

Thanks for all your kind words of support. I am always pretty philosophical about things and believe that "good news is never really that good, but bad news is never really that bad".

[BelperJim]

That's terrible. I hope everything works out for you in the end!

[Thejimreaper]

Grifo has the roll come through the wall onto your car? Thats awful luck mate, gutted for you.

[dmitsi]

Oh wow, I'd never seen this resto before. Read your heaven thread first, thinking what a lovely looking project. Was it just the frame that got pounded, or were there any other parts hanging around? Gutted for you, good luck with the ball ache of getting a claim sorted.

[DC]

Absolutely devastating- I feel your pain.

[Don1]

Gutted for you.

[shalmaneser]

Total nightmare buddy!

Hope you get compensated as fully as is possible in the situation - you seem to have taken it well however, so remain philosophical - hopefully you can source another shell and get this back on track.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Oh man totally gutted for you. My stomach literally turned when i saw the picture.

Was asking about it when you posted it in the 'Show us your rear end' thread as hadn't seen you up date your original thread for a while.

Hopefully you can do something with it.

Thanks to all - it is fellow P'Hers that help me remain motivated and positive. I believe that nothing is impossible and I hope that she can be rebuilt and the project continue to the goal of becoming the best Grifo in the world!!

I have to be patient and see what the experts say...and Lawyers!!

I will keep everyone posted.
