Sorry rogered, yes the car was rebuilt. it was used in the next year series and was used for the filming of "Smash Palace" Steve also had good results that year with a win and lap record in the second heat of the NZGP being a highlight. He had a gentle rollover again down south but this was different situation with a racing tangle with another top NZ competitor Dave McMillan.
Dave was a good hard/fast driver and it was always good to watch him, Dave Oxton, Kenny Smith, and Steve tussle it out.
