Any adice on finding a rolling chassis
Discussion
I'm feeling pretty adventurous and so want to attempt a chassis replacement and upgrade shocks and brakes while I'm at it. Can anyone advise me on the best place to find a rolling chassis and what are the pitfalls of body-off repairs.
How long will a job like this take in man hours and do I need any special equipment?
Thanks
Gary

It is a big job, as you can probably imagine, but when its done ,and you have tightened each and every bolt up yourself it is very very rewarding.
Sometimes the odd chassis pops up on fleabay.
Sportmotive are now offering replacement chassis'
As for manhours, mine has had its chassis repaired,painted and then the body prepped and painted.
I roughly estimated 50 hours per month(some more,some less)over 8 months.
The maths speaks for itself.

That'll be a nice starting point for somebody but it probably won't suit a '98 Chimaera. The diff mounts will be different, the seat belt mountings probably will be too and there may be other more subtle differences.Gassing Station | Chimaera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
