How much can you buy it back for? Gotta be the easiest car in the world to straighten.

Would like to buy it back as there are some good parts on it but don't think its worth rebuilding. Factory job with the chassis, has to be right. Would not want to drive one that had been sorted with a big hammer

How much is a new chassis?

Shirley can't be much?

Its an early narrow bodied car similair size to the caterham.The factory don,t make them any more. Also needs most of the body as well which would have to be made to order if they still have the moulds.
The factory charge around £2500 to build a kit so add that to the labour cost of stripping an old car and add the parts. Might be worth while on a newer car but not mine.

Looked into buying new kits from westfield and sylva but its still to expensive If i was putting the hours in i would want a better engine and running gear as well so might as well start from scratch.

Have rebuilt salvage in the past and know the score. Have done the costings and options. If i get the car back at the right price might be worth breaking otherwise its time to move on.
