Starting a new Zero project

[Stephen Percival]

I must be mad, I picked up a while ago a track day damaged Zero. Minor structural, loads of fibreglass damage and some panel dents. I kept looking at it and finally took it down off the wall (new form of workshop wall art)  I said I was not going to build another kit but you know when you start messing taking the damaged bits off it, dam I am getting hooked on doing. Watch this space.

Yup, definitely mad 

The biggest worry is probably how straight the chassis is? Looks to have had a decent whack...

Might not be as bad as that - track day damage, I'm thinking (from the pictures) it's probably spun and slid sideways into something, possibly the suspension arms have been a sideways 'crumple zone' and taken all the brunt? Fingers crossed

That looks like a GAZ shocker. They rebuild worn shockers, they may be able to replace the rod & check it over for less than

a new replacement.

I have just bought new top and bottom wish bones from GBS, got some new coilover in my bits store. Tonight I have pulled the back panel off the frame to flatten the dink on the offside. The frame is straight put lasers on it. It was a cheap buy. The guy who sold it to me had new underwear on when I met him it was his first track day second lap. Bad for him great for me.

Sometimes a punt really does pay off. Well done.

Looks like a easy fix.

The punt is going even better. Took the back panel of and the frame is not touched. The tin work on the panel just needs pushing out. I now think the back took the hit straight on the rear wheel and wheel arch and they absorb the back impact.
