I'd fit in with your friends.. give me some good bar-b-que and I'll turn wrenches all day!
I'm hopeful the damages are minimal and easily repaired. I'm still enjoying the original chase and hope you can keep up the good fight!

We also rippped out the old rear end and made this with Tricky and fitted it to his TR as he was suffering just a little with too much power from his Rover 5.2 a while back.
He ran 11.4 on his old manual box LT77 gearbox with the suspension trying to escape the torture of the launch and having to waste time shifting a manual gearbox. You can even see the tired front suspension having problems on the launch

When the car is finished he will run straight into the 10's with a 50 shot of the nitrous system I'm building for him. Then when he has learnt how to drive the modified car and we have the steering and suspension set up I'll give him another 100 shot of gas to get him easily into the 9's with his Rover engine

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
