Below is whats left of my zook just after i finished my engine swap and was towing it home.
Not sure what happened, but i believe its a combination of un even road trailer failing and going down hill (even thou it was low speed)
RIP

Well i just got a phone call this morning and look like the trailer did fail first and thats what cause the jack knife  trail had a thin metal towing neck with 2 bolts through it. so it snaped there and was unluck that it happened while i was going down hill on an uneven road.

That's bad news mate... Have you thought about re-shelling it to keep the Zook project alive? |

Towing with dads Landcruiser (Only cause it had the right tow plug to operate the Trailer Compressor) only busted the blinker Trailer was one of those car trailers with the air bags that it tilts so the car can drive on then the compressor pumps up and lock the a frame back in. on the road its built up with 6m drops off both sides so im lucky i kept my dads car on the road with no damage and that i didnt get hurt |

Just lucky it didn't pull you over the edge! No good either way but on the up side you came out unhurt! |

Don't make any big decisions till you've had time to think and cool down. Rushed decisions in the heat of the disaster can often be poor. Wait a while, then think sell, rebuild, rebody, part out etc. Sorry you had to go through this, it sux. |

mate have a good think. I rolled my car and i was going to sell it, then i decided to fix it and it was the best thing i ever did. Looks like all you need is a new targa bar, windscreen panel and new doors.. exactly what i needed when i rolled mine! sure it wont be the same, but it will still be your zook! |
