Wonder why? One rocker and one upright may not help, I guess these are still available?

Not worth anything like £1100 IMHO

Would make me a nice project

Seemed like a bargain to me. Obviously its a bit of a random selection of parts.

Actually looking at this thread there is a suggestion that the wheelbase of the GT1 and ts400 are different. Maybe that body work and chassis are not such a great combination then!

Having fitted dominator bodywork to a GT1 chassis in the past yes it can be done but does involve a lot of bracketry been made and welded to the chassis.

If you do buy your not going to get any spare bodywork from anywhere if ever required and you will find no suspension components for the chassis, whats the rocker for ?

I spoke with Paul at Dominator a couple of years ago when I was struggling with getting the GT1 body to fit as it is in more parts than the Dominator.

I was toying with the idea of fitting the Dominator body to my GT1 chassis.

Paul said that it would fit, but would need some extra brackets welded on to give pick up points for the new body.

As you can see from my avatar, I stuck with the original GT1 bodywork in the end.

As far as I know the wheelbase is the same (or very similar) despite what Paul said in that old thread and the body could be made to fit the GT1 chassis.

As for value. The original GT1 chassis and body kit was about £3k from Martin K.

Surely someone could buy it and mould it if the originals no longer exist...and no I'm not tempted.
