Hey Elid,

Did the front get slightly damaged? It doesn't look fully straight at the front. Just a tad bit asif someone bent it a little so shouldn't be a problem, but looks bit weird on that last photograph.

Other then that, it does look like a very clean shell! Any hidden rust on it?

yeah the car in it's old life was a track car that was damaged on the front passenger side

needs a new cross member welded in,and possibly a slam panel by the looks of it (unless we can fix this one)

Emil,

That reminds me, you are going to need doors and fenders aswell.. Are you going to fiberglass? Fenders are gonne to be hard to find cause you wanne go trueno, you'll have to get everything from USA or so.

Also maybe send a PM to Ivan, he busy with an ebay seller in germany that has loads of spare parts for sale.

And I think Robokill has some doors allthough they will be expensive to ship to England.

going to get FRP parts for the car,might not be the cheapest,but the lighest

[Mux213]

hmm, that reminds me, one of the guys in commercial sales mentioned he's now official jblood importer in UK. I think jblood has trueno FRP and Carbon parts aswell..

p.s. I've gone back from FRP fenders to stock ones, they weight about the same but the fit of stock parts is so much better.

Getting a carbon hood on the other hand..... need to save up so much....

Might have to think about that now.....

Driftoworks are becoming/are JBlood retailers for the UK IIRC

Yeah, and easier to put in aswell

[Elid]

you see, im the clever one, i went toyota

and the car needs to look good aswell as be light so i'm going to get the standerd fenders, but arnt they really hard to find

and theres hardly any rust, only a little bit here and there.

and the car needs a new front end, its a bit more bent in real life than in the pictures
