Any know if its possible to get a new chassis for a late 1998 Chimaera tumbleweed ?

Thoughts are if its is possible to get one then re build on the new one and then have mine serviced once its off and sell on?

Anyone out there do P/X on chassis whistle

Or is it a case of pigs might fly and oh what was that overhead laugh!!

Speak to Sportmotive, I believe they can make them up in normal or upgraded guise...

Hi All,

Couldn't remember who I spoke to about this some time ago but I think it was Ian?

You can buy new a chassis via any Multipart approved dealer/indie.

Beware Nylon coating on a road car... if the water get's in it will run between the metal and plastic and in no time will have rusted up good and propper... this stuff even holds the water in...
I know... I've done it!!!
