Which chassis?
Looking for some help trying to identify which chassis I have as I’m looking get some new body panels (scuttle, bonnet and nose cone).
The car currently has gts panther panels which are a couple of inches taller to help with taller engines, but this I no longer an issue for me.
Does anyone know what chassis I might have? Locost or Haynes?
And what body panel might fit?
Thanks

Gts chassis was based on the Locost and the body was 1” taller to get a Zetec under. It had the ears cut of the front and the rear bulkhead was also
1” taller. It also had a dedion rear so had the same trailing links as the Locost but also the Sierra diff mounts.
I built my chassis from his plans. My opinion was the body style of the gts suited it really well.
If it’s not a gts chassis it will be Locost based not the Haynes roadster, I think it’s wider ?
Mk Indy has the chassis 1” higher than Locost to take taller engines so it’s a fare bet that it would be Locost based on the body work.
So many firms made a car with just a few tweaks from “the book”.

The roll bar is classic mk. I think the noise cone is as well.

Nose, bonnet and scuttle definitely look like Gts panther / Locost.

The body work is defo gts panther (I brought it) and I had that roll cage made custom.
I also brought the bonnet vent from carbon mods.
So will the mk body work fit the Locost chassis?
