Gold Level

Post by DJJAW11 »

Hi,Guys
I possible source (yet again hehe) for composite body parts for our AW11s, i furst found them via Ebay, see link below, and reply back from them...


Hi,



"thanks for getting in touch. There's been a fair amount of interest for mk1 mr2 parts, but group-buys from the owners club have failed to go-ahead, so we've not made any parts yet. We'd be looking to produce the bonnets, boots and engine covers later in the year, but could do some parts sooner if you were to commision a one-off, or organise an order of 5 or more of any part (in order to justify our tooling costs). Bonnets would be around £395, and the other parts nearer £300 per unit.



Please feel free to call or email if you are interested, have any questions, or if there's anything else we can help you with.



Best regards, Mike.

I've just fitted some of their carbon door cards on the sprint car and they mentioned doing other bits later in the year. Not sure whether I'll be able to justify spending that kind of money on bonnets and stuff but the door cards were decent value:

Jo, I paid £85 for the pair from this guy, he also gave me a free offcut (about a foot square) so that I can infill the gap where the radio/heater used to be. I've just got cutouts for the door release, as in the pics above, but he will add any extra cutouts you want for no extra charge.

£85 the pair plus postage. All precut with whatever holes you've asked for (I only wanted the door handles as the electric window switches have been relocated in the cabin)

Considering the alternative would have been spending £40-50 on big enough sheets of aluminium then mucking about cutting them to shape and inevitably cocking it up in some way ending up with something that would look rubbish I thought it was worth it. Plus every race car needs a bit of bling :p

Even got a couple of decent sized scraps in with the packaging (I think it was to stop it flexing too much in transit) which I'll no doubt find a use for at some point.

Kaiowas (sorry, don't know your name) where did you relocate the window switches to? Did you use new switches or utilise the existing ones? Any pics?

The driver side switches are now just inside the door tie wrapped to the metal reinforcing bar behind the dash. Passenger side has been junked.

I've completely rewired the doors, the central locking has been stripped out and there's no need for the window lock button so these were cut away to give the flat area of the switch panel which rests against the bar
