i have been looking into zcar for a while now and its going to be a project that i expect to take me a few years etc but i have seen a mini sheel with a frame that is already fitted but it has been used on autograssing and i would like to make it road legal i know some panels will need replacing ike the rear quarters but it has no front so i will be putting a removable one on

i am speaking with the owner about purchasing it but i will need to have it collected anyone know of a company that would do this for me?

http://www.srh-motor...k/Galleries.htm its the orange one towards the bottom, it has had the front removed completely and it is fully cages out it hasnt got a rear valance and will need to rear quarters is there anything else that has been removed from an autograss car that i havent listed?

If it's anything like any other autograss car it will be battered on every square inch and the cages tend to be poorly made affairs using erw and the like, huge chunks are usually cut out of the floor and the front suspension is usually replaced with double wishbone stuff. Also very unlikely to have the original documents either.

In short totally unsuitable as a road car, wait for a decent shell it will be well worth it

i was hoping it would be usable evenjust to transfer the cage to another mini, as i cannot find anyone buy zcar that make frames and i dont really want to spend that much money so quickly and would rather buy bits etc as i go along
