I talked to Gil briefly at Bury National a couple of years ago - when Yukka & the lad who looked like he was from Limp Bizkit (can't remebrer his name) raced there. We chatted about CAD and making moulds, nice chap.
I do suspect if I had asked him for car help he would have done what he could, although (as they seemed to be trying to get their heads around why the XXX4's were poo around Bury track) a full rebuild would have been a bit of a big ask.
