Did anyone take pictures of the white sportscar body kit that fits the MK chassis at Exeter ?, or any links to pics.
I got a CD with some piccys on from them Bob
Have to say I do like it...
Can re-size em and post here or send direct to you...
Regards
Rob
In my photie archive now..
Clickety Click
so could i buy that and shove it onto my indy ?
would it fit the older indy's?
ditch
Thanks rob just what i needed,i like it a bit too much although it has lifted my enthusiasm which has been shrinking at an alarming rate recently.
I may need to sort another engine before i start messing with body changes though,i'll wait and see how some of these turn out first.
Yes it does fit the original Indy
They supply the extra metalwork(outrigger type thingys) as well as the bodywork
When mine is fully fecked I think I may see what has developed
They also had a hard top for it, and it takes an MG windcreen aparently
Regards
Rob
I was told last sunday that it will fit the older indy,the body would come with outriggers to fit between the original chassis and the new bodywork.
Oooooo that loooks alright.
££££ anyone
Nige
Mrs commented on how she quite liked it before even spotting it was tha MK stand and even better ...plonked on top of an indy....so /kind of/ already
have approval from the mrs 
(thats the way I read it anyway
Still same space internally though due to using the indy chassis and you would have to sort out the gaps etc if you were wanting to drive in damp/wet
conditions...extending the floor and sheeting the inner arches would cure that though and give nice big storage pods in each side
Regards
Rob
i wish to buy one........NOW.
like it...maybe my colour blindness getting worse but it dont look very white to me
Deposits now being taken
please £200 by paypal to me at
Yoovbeenstifd.@stifd.com
nice!
Yes! I really like that. 
About £1600 according to Phil - "that'll drop straight on your chassis". (Mine is 2003.)
John.
I'd like to see someone make a Morgan Aero max body to fit an mk indy chassis. Have they missed a trick?

I do like it, but if i where to have a body change it would have to be something like a Radical/ LeMan style shell.
Is it just me who thinks that is dreadful?
A poor Austin Healey replica body with terribly designed arch extensions.What were they thinking? It reminds me of all of those obscure 80's kit
cars whose makers went bust the moment their creations saw the light of day.
Just my opinion of course.
David
I like that alot. Would it fit a locost chassis?
Hmmm. Jury's still out on that one as far as I'm concerned
I'm struggling to like it I'm afraid and it's not for trying 
Maybe its just me but does anyone think the front and back ends look like they were designed for 2 different cars when viewed from the side.
Looks not too bad, but what's the point?
Stu
Stu, the possibillity of a custom made hard top to fit. I try and run my car all year and this could be the answer for me.

I want to like it, but I can't, just isn't right.
It looks like a Healey at the front and back, joined buy the lines of a Cob in the middle!
With an off the shelf screen and a hard top available sounds nice.
.....................and from MK, it's not going to be crap quality either.
Gets my vote

I agree with you David. (also JMO)
Fozzie
hmm, i am not conviened yet, but it might be perfect for enough kit car project maybe next summer, so i have a winter toy, with a roof.lol
that would look better with a v8 in it, a litlle bit of fiddling with the mk chassis i am sure it will fit.lol
as it has a smoother front than a proper mk, does that mean this will go faster top end?
stuart
i vote for dreadfull
and no doors; which might make getting in and out with the top on, err, interesting...

It looks a bit awkward due to no doors to me..
I prefer this:

oh dear ..... thats not good ....... thats scary. VERY scary - in a i'm about to lose 12 months of my life kind of way. Must get the g/f to get
a higher paid job. Make my own Mk1 escort for £2500 .... i can see the book coming now!!!!!
Anyone have plans for a front end roll bar based jig / sub frame?
Knowing how much effort has gone into this, I would wait a while longer before you dismiss this.
The guy behind this is a perfectionist struggling to bring this to market in the worst economic environment we have seen in years.
So to the knockers and the nay sayers I say give the guys a chance to polish the product.
I am actually looking forward to the Busa Turbo version
Cheers

^^^Good point Martin,I would like to see a finished car,the picture of the bare shell with just a set of old wheels fitted is doing it no favours at
all,I am sure with a bit of chrome on it,lights and trim,a screen etc and a nice set of wheels fitted it would look a different car
I think the concept is a great idea,it will fit on any old Indy chassis,or on the new chassis,it just gives buyers another option,and at around £1600
a cheap one at that,I am sure there will be quiet a few MK Indy owners,who will be looking at upgrading there old bodywork with this rebody,it will be
like having a new car for not alot of money,I would love to see one with a TVR V8 in it.

+1
That would be the AGM WLR
http://www.agmsportscars.co.uk/agm_sports_cars_2_009.htm
Hmmm - that fits and MK chassis?
Anyway - wait to see what comes after the HSR...
It looks alright to me. I think the Idea is brilliant. I'd like to see a Coupé body though.
OK - here are some images of the white car that was at the show. This is the first one out of the moulds - still some fit issues which will be fixed
in subsequent runs. This is having GSXR engine in it. Should be hitting a track near you in the spring
The body will fit any Indy chassis and MK will be offering a retrofit outrigger kit for any folks looking to switch part built kits to the HSR body.
Currently pulling together the website for this - once it is up I will post a link.
Cheers
Martin

Oh yes and the roof will be gullwing - so you can get in it
er... aaaah.... oooh... I'm not sure I like it. I looked through all of the pics and there's just no fire in my belly.
Needless to say it's not finished yet.... in case you weren't sure
Gullwing roof would be cool, has the roof been made yet?
If you have gullwing doors that when up don't stick out of the cars foot print, can you drive with them open?

I rather like it. Apart from the fact that the rear light clusters aren't level (the one on the right is much higher than the one on the left)
and the bottom edge of the boot lid is (perhaps as a result) at quite a jaunty angle. Also, the scuttle doesn't appear to line up with the
trailing edge of the bonnet.
I think if done well it could work nicely - I'm a big fan of full-bodied sevenesque cars like the Fury, Phoenix and J15. But it's got to be
done well - if the bodywork doesn't fit properly and the mouldings are skew-whiff then it's a pain to put together and will never look
right.
And the wonkiness of that shell's back end seems pretty noticeable on both the white and black shells...
i like it i think, which is saying a lot as its not a style i usually like.

It wasn't that it wasn't finished - I'm a visionary man. It's just that though there was an infinite number of lines I could draw through the single point where the car is at now, none of them extrapolated into a direction that was satisfying in the end...

Huh?
Im liking that! Just needs a rollbar, a small aeroscreen, and some quality mesh in the front to finish it off, as well as some subtle stripes down the
side. Cant wait to see a finished example at the kitcar shows this year
It looks like a squashed down tarted up Healey 3000, what's not to like I'm not one for extrapolating and all that and I think it could
be a good starting point for someone wanting to make something different and it gets rid of all the front end projection problems in one fell swoop.
wow, really like it white, i'm starting to consider this as a change from the norm, would like to see i fully finished car though with roof, would be interesting to see it with a roll bar and maybe one with a fully cage too. I like the idea of dropping a nice duratec in there
Yes i'm waiting for someone to actually make the change or complete a full build to see how it looks finished, still not convinced about the indy
chassis with outriggers on but we will see.
The problem i have is getting my head round the space between the fibreglass body and the much narrower indy chassis.
I think its a bit like Marmite you rather love it or hate it! I think having a flip front is a good idea makes easy access for maintanence but should get rid of the fake bonnet line and the hard top idea i assume its going to have some sort of wing doors like back to the future which wouldn`t be a bad idea and will be nice to see one fully finished with a hardtop!
