Dr_Doom Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I've just spent the day with Matt stripping all the remaining parts off his old shell. We couldn't of asked for better weather and we managed to get it down to a bare shell in not much time! Here are a few pics & I’m sure Matt will be putting the parts up for sale soon; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Feck, that shell was properly mangled Whats next for it? Was it a Cat A/B and if so who's got the salvage license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm guessing it was at worst Cat B - as Matt has been using the spares on his Aerotop shell. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a Cat A/B and if so who's got the salvage license? to be fair, everything cosmetic from the windscreen to the back didnt happen in the crash that annoyed me a bit Anyways, its off to be whatever mr scrap metal wants to do with it. Cat C but no one is going to want to repair it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Cat C but no one is going to want to repair it Christ, from the pics, that looked terminal A/B. But as you say, can't see anyone bothering with a repair, the whole front end is fecked. At least you got all the parts off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Update, Five hour round trip to Knight Racer and back yesterday to drop of the new wheels and over fenders. Good progress with the prep work, having a good natter with the body shop guys really put me at ease with knowing she is in good hands. Saw a dew other supras there. One was having a TRD wide arch kit fitted..... But just the front!! very odd, made the front look wider than the rear! will reserve judgement on that till its finished tho. Gutted to hear that my new front wheels wont clear the AP calipers by 6mm , gutted, going to have to use some form of spacing now oh well Progress then: When my tyres arrived. hauwge! made the wheels look even bigger when they were fitted: A bit of smoothing work on the shells bonnet: Bit more work on the door and rear quater, Blitz skirts in place: Old and New Roof needed a bit of smoothing too Quite a bit of prep work on the repaired rear quater to make it silky smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
