COMPLETE REBUILD WAS NECESSARY!!!!![contemporary race report]
A bit of journalistic exageration. It was fairly damaged at the front end, so the front probably needed a rebuild. With 1 or 2 meetings to go and the Championship wrapped up I doubt they would have rebuilt the whole car completely considering its history shortly after. I did take photos of the damage at the time, but they are no longer around.
