Modifying locost bodywork to fit W***field?
Can this be done so as to fit a W***field SE. Reason being I don't want to pay the extortionate prices for new bodywork!
Cheers

You could possibly adapt if you wanted too. IIRC the Westy chassis is a couple of inches narrower than a 'standard' Locost chassis (if
there is such a thing!) so a bit of adapting will be necessary, if you are looking at buying a complete body kit. However, you could panel it
externally with ali, (you may have to make a simple frame at the back to form the back panel) and just buy nosecone/arches/scuttle.
Is the Westy body in poor condition, or damaged?
Dont just build it.....make it!

Fair comment mate. But actually buying the genuine bodywork will add more than that to the price if you were ever to sell it.... 
Cheers, Stu.
