>Whilst bragging and telling benchracing stories, my first vintage race car
was a nice blue Mini Cooper. I rolled it into a tiny ball in my first ever
practice session, and so went to a rebuild. I bought a used Cooper S shell
for $75 - totally stripped with no floors, doors, front end, etc, and
started welding...

>I rolled the blue Cooper on the July 4 long weekend, picked up the shell
the following Monday, and ran at Watkins Glen in September - a total of 8
weeks after the accident. Built the car in the driveway (no garage) and
painted it under a tree. Car looked good, though, and finished the weekend!
