LY F1 track project

[Specc57]

Where to start, i have recently purchased an accident damaged LY F1 with the intentions of caging/track car only build.

initial inspection is some minor front chassis damage, subframes is shot, rad was twisted but i have managed to save/straighten this.

so had a small tinker last sat but nothing major started stripping the front end, then some interior parts. then came ebay and the ex palmersport clio shell that is available not many miles away from me.

So before i spend a few K getting this one straight and a cage fitted how much work if possible would it be to swap the good stuff from the F1 onto a motorsport shell?

well, went and looked at the palmersport shell and while it would be a perfect shel to work with i think the LHD side of it will cause too much work with all the swapping over required. back to original plan. get the LY pulled straight it is.

I hope you gave peanuts for that LY if the chassis is twisted.

Cheap enough to bin - sell the recaros and salvageable parts to recoup everything yep.

Sorry chaps been so busy I haven't even touch this until today, when I managed a couple of hours tinkering.
Stripped the front end, removed the damaged wheel, removed the dash (airbag ) and dropped the new dash in.
