as above, any one got a idea on price? and does it make the shell to stiff for fast road/odd track day??

cheers

 

Unless you've got the car down to a bare shell, it's not worth the effort.

A decent multi-point cage and strut braces make a car more than stiff enough for what you need it for. If you were doing full blown motorsport then it'd be worth considering.

Just my 2p lol.

 

cheers pal, lost the car on friday binned in the hedge and made me want make the car better than ever however long/much it takes. and just getting ideas and opinions

 

Bad news mate, not too bad I hope?

I wouldn't IMO, but I guess it's how far you want to take the car!

 

I think it would cost quite a. Bit to do a saph shell
I've done my dolomite shell and its took me an age
Cleaning all the seams to weld it up
I just cannot imagen the price at a body shop,

 

If you really want to go this way, maybe this is a good read for you:


There's loads of detailed informations in there how to prepare the shell.

 

A guy I know did this to his saph many moons ago . Seam welded everything he could find and i mean silly bits like the tunnel where it lays over the floor where the handbrake sits.
I dont see the point for a roadie plus its lots of messy work.
