Full bodywork?

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.

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.

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.

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 . . .

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.

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.

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
