I striped all the car down to find out how badly damaged the chassis was and noticed one suspension turret was 3" further back than the other so we had a accident repair centre out to asses the damage to see what the future held.

It came back that is was too badly damaged to repair to a good standard for what the ka was worth. It wasnt what we wanted to hear but that was the outcome.

I striped the ka to a completely bare shell and salvaged the rest...

In the process...

















Bye bye sportka.

In the meantime i had sourced a bare shell from a club member (10th racer) Sound lad. £250 with 2.0 focus rear disc conversion.
So we shipped it from birmingham to scarborough and it took its new home... and collected a safety devices 6 point roll cage on the way too...







The above pics were just before going to a friends garage to be painted and cage welding in.

More still to come..
