body fitting
Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 4:09 pm
In the process of buying a Sports Renault for vintage racing. I've been working with the seller, who has been running two other cars for several years. He's pretty familiar with them. We're having a lot of difficulty getting a good body fit. We're using a spare body he had, not the one the car originally came with. It appears there has been some repair work through the years, and several areas are pretty heavily built up. I spent a lot of time grinding down the rear section near the roll bar before we could get it to fit even 80%. There is still a big gap between the right side center section & rear section.
The front section looks like it was leaning on one side for a while, just won't lie evenly on the pins and in the rub rails.
Any thoughts besides simply buy a new body? $$$!
Thank you, I look forward to running this car with VARA. I also have a Triumph GT6 DP car & my wife races Formula V.
