i'm looking for old scabby bits of 7alike bodywork going really cheap or free. its to chop up, stretch and add to to make donkervoort lookalike body buck.

accident damage welcome, knackered gelcoat no problem.

By the time you have chopped body about etc, I would have thought it would be easier and cheaper to just make one from scratch..

Make the basic shape from ply etc... pop some foam over the top and sand/file it to shape..

thats one way, but i'd like to start with what i know fits before i hack about. did similar when i helped a mate turn his metro into a 6R4 replica. just started with a complete but rusty shell added bits on where needed and eventually used it to cast a mould. simples
