Full bodywork?

Texan - 20/9/14 at 09:43 AM

I'm wondering if anyone of you can tell me where I can get a full bodywork kit similar to this?

I have someone else's failed Stalker kit that I am working on so I realize odds are the kit won't fit exactly but modifying a kit is much easier than starting from scratch.

I've been unable to find anything like this and yet it seems like a lot of the Danish, Norwegian 7's run something like this.

I wonder why the picture won't display. I thought I did everything right.

I have the body moulds for this
small westy which I will be using in the future. After the house is built!?!?!?!

Wasn't that a Swedish rebodied Seven?

The picture I tried to post was a rebodied Swedish 7 and I'd like to find a way to rebody mine that way or something close to it.

Going to knock out some extras ? or maybe sell the moulds on when done ?

Yes I'd love to manufacture some, I've mentioned it a number of times on here in the past and there were at least 2 people begging me to take their money for full sets of body work!!!

I've got all three a moulds but only have a spare middle and rear at the moment. the front was used to repair a crashed car apparently.

This looked really good but unfortunately the project stalled.

No I'm pretty set on something like those Norwegian cars in the picture (well it ended up only being a link) i posted.

I was hoping with you guys being a lot closer than I was that someone had done something like that or at least knew who did. Sigh . . .

Arion body will fit straight on a Striker chassis......

Texan - 23/9/14 at 12:17 AM

I've located some the people involved in Norway and they are looking to see if the manufacturer can ship me a body. it won't fit, and they say it takes extensive modification anyway, but at least it's a starting place and I can put my own unique stamp on it.

Now if only it's not outrageously expensive because shipping sure will be.

Wow! That wasn't at all what I was looking for, but it is nice looking.

Ugg10 - 25/9/14 at 11:07 AM

May be worth a call to see what the wheel base and width etc is ? Or go and have a look remembering a tape measure.

This is a rebodied Sylva Star

That's a special that Mark Fisher made for his own use with a cross-flow in it.

He has sold that one and now has an all alloy bodied version with a Zetec in it and still running cross-ply tyres which he describes as 'great fun!'. I had a look over the latest one a couple of months ago in his garage and it does look great fun and he has done it on a very tight budget
