Question About Bmc Full Body Shell
#1
Posted 25 May 2019 - 08:36 PM
I've just found out after years of saving that my local trusted specialist in Nottingham is closing. I'm going over the options for what I want out of the build and the easiest thing for me is to buy a new shell (my current one needs basically everything but a roof) the restoration bill is very close to a new one, but....
I want to put a removable front end on it and a carbon bootlid on it.
My question is this, would the bmc sell a new body minus the whole front end and boot as I can have it fully painted and then I can start on a full nut and bolt rebuild.
TIA,

its is called a motorsports shell. might be missing doors as well though.

My next question is to go along with this thread is which mark shell would I need? I'm assuming mine is a mk5 being a 998 1990 city e but would a later shell offer more bulkhead clearance around the carb if I got the mk6?
After mk3, they're pretty much the same, bar the inner wings and bulk head fitments.

So which one would be better the one for my year or a later mark?
mk3 onwards...
