No you shouldn't, and no it wouldn't. They have clearly rebuilt their car with a new chassis because this one is scrap.
All there is is a shagged-out alloy monocoque - what body, uprights, engine, transaxle, rack etc etc would you use? The running gear is massively
expensive for these old Sports Racers assuming that you can find any to fit....

I know its not worth anyting, but then again it brings up the question, what is a real race car these days? This Rawlson has now been
"replicated" but is still allowed to run in the "vintage" races. Does this mean that i can run my Seven in the vintage
parades we have here in the Antipodes?
Only kidding of course. I was considering buying the bits and getting ahold of the drawings, but then i drank a dozen beers and figured it would be
better if i finish my Eleven clone, then move onto my own mid-engine design. I've already got myself a Renault trans, Miata front uprights,
Toyota 4AG, Ginetta shocks and some other bits left from the Seven build. So, i think i'll be better off starting from scratch.
Cheers,
Rod
