Reuben’s Laurel is in rough shape after the damage. In this video, we break it down, assess what’s left, and decide the future of the build.
Tearing into the KE70 and finding a few surprises inside… interior out, wiring chaos, vents confusion, and a bit more progress on the build.
Yesterday was one of the hardest days we’ve had on the channel. Reuben was caught in a crash over the crest at Mondello, and his beloved C33 Laurel was destroyed. Thankfully, he’s okay, but the car is in a bad way.
This episode is a tribute to Laurel, to Reuben, and to the years of memories this car has given us all. We’re going to do everything we can to bring it back.
To help with the rebuild, we’ve launched a limited-run T-shirt and sticker. After covering production costs, all profits will be allocated toward getting the C33 back on its feet and straightened out. Link below for more
