Obz Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Says it been professionally repaired but if you look at the front there seems to be loads of tubes, etc missing for the front suspension, steering rack etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k80rum Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 So he does.. The other looks to have a buy it now price. Well noticed about the front section mountings - 😶🌫️ it looks like both chassis have had the front section replaced and none of the mounting points are present. That's going to make them a bit pointless to most people unless they're prepared to lug them over to Arch and pay even more to get it sorted.. I suppose they're still quite a saving on a chassis but not quite the bargain they might seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 That chassis with tubes missing isn't worth anything IMO. . . .it has no numbers (the pedal box and wiper motor bracket have gone), and it still needs a long front. (as the tubes need fitting in a jig). I suspect it's the leftovers from a re-chassis where the original chassis (what we see here) has has it's bent front bodged up with some tube from B&Q.

Peter T Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ditto with Adam. There is no front on any chassis, just a few tubes that have been welded on? Where is the rest of it? B & Q special. R500 260 BHP Mango Madness CAR NO-37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Is it an illusion or is the tube at the rear that is sitting on that tyre also bent? www.mycaterham.com here Videos here 100,000 miles car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The whole thing is bent at the rear driver side; look at the other items for sale and there are multiple photos where you can see the state of the "professional repair". It's basically a pile of tubes, not all of them in the right shape. The front end is missing all the cross bracing; you couldn't attach anything to it without it collapsing. I wonder if the other chassis is in fact the front end of the same car, welded to a "new" back end 🤔 Death trap.
