Considering your profile says you like to drag race the Chimaera, I would double that. Oh dear!!

But on a 1993 model, most probably original, I would hope.

It was one of the first things I checked when I bought my 2000 model in November last year, as well as the outriggers (although you can't see all of them.) Glad to say they were intact. Waxoil can cover some things though so I check regularly.

I have owned the car for the last 15 years. So I don't really look under it often. Although it needs a lower wishbone. But other than that is all kosher.

Crickey, they look like something dragged up from the bottom of the ocean!
The newly fabricated ones look nice though.
The fibreglass must be stronger than it looks!

They deteriorated rapidly this year while she was out and about. I don't think the pothole In the road helped

All tubes are being filled with clear wax oil so and the outside being sprayed with black to make sure they never rot again
