Paul
have you thought about getting a new chassis rail manufactured by a car restoration company, rather than trying to buy new. If you fail then the other option may be to do a deal with the insurance company to keep the car and whatever the pay out is use it to buy another car with a dead engine and use the money to pay for the restoration of the car.
I may know of one in Hampshire as I am contemplating it myself as I need parts for mine but this one looks to good to break.
If you want to talk more mail me dave.reynolds@dickinsonlegg.com

Strangely enough I came up with the same idea myself and got some names and addresses out the phone book and I have included them in my draft to the insurer and I agree it does seem like a good idea. Good luck with you car

Hi Don,

I ran around like a headless chicken trying to find that magazine this morning do you who stocks it???

If you haven\'t had time to get this info together that you need then tell them they\'ll have to wait - they kept you hanging on and then to give you a few days to gather supporting evidence is not reasonable.

It it your insurance or the other driver\'s? Remember - you\'ll probably have legal cover on your own policy if you need to get arsey with his insurers. alternativly you canpersue him directly for any unrecovered loss through small claims. You can now do this online and it\'ll cost you Â£50 to instigate.

If you\'ve got the guy\'s contact details you could always try explaining to him that you\'re going to be out of pocket by Â£xx and that you\'re going to have to go down the legal route to recover it as youcan\'t afford not to... he might have a concience!

Bottom line is, assuming it\'s his insurance, that you should have a car that\'s equivalent to your old one. Assume a bodykit to be Â£2k plus and add that to a standard car, add on the cost of whels etc and you\'re soo over the 5k you\'re after.

Hi Lao,

Thanks for the advice and I will go down that road if I have to. I have now submitted as much supporting evidence as I possibly can I will let evryone know the outcome

With regards

Paul, my car is for sale if i can get near what its worth.
Mine has 60K on the clock, it has been restored & re sprayed (all the running gear is powder coated & most the fastenings are stainless). I have a history file with all the build photos & receipts for Â£10k or more. The engine is only just run in (only done a hundred or so miles max since the new lump went in.) The interior & body work are standard, no bodykit. The only clues to the 230rwhp are the wheels & the can. The agreed value before the latest mods went on was Â£4.5K. Its had a 12aturbo with low comp rotors & aggressive porting, a TII turbo & ignition, FD fuel pump & lines, custom exhaust, konis & an expensive boost controller since then. Even the floorpan has new paint.

Phone me if you want more details - the spec is huge!
07855 133159 or 01892 523900

what are you looking to get next don?

Don Pamponi · January 31, 2006, 09:28:27 PM

Dunno, I\'d keep this one if I could find someone to fit a rack instead of the steering box. Spoils an otherwise sweet (&terrifyingly fast!) sexy car.

Thats whats made me loose interest really, I have had some interest from a local engineering place which i havent had time to chase up yet. I guess thats another reason, since I got the car back i reckon I\'ve only driven her maybe 10 times, I\'m just too busy to make the most of her. Hasn\'t been out the garage for a couple of months.
