Hi guys
spoke to Guy at work and here are a few more details on the shells & panels:)
Body tub is complete frp (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) monocoque. It is a lot stronger than OE datsun tub.
It does have the Steel tubing incorporated in the laminate from bulkhed, up screen pillars through roof perimeter etc.
Inner sills, rear quarters double skinned like original tub but marine grade foam filled (for extra coolness
these features put altogether make this into a very strong safety cell. Regardless of intended use, whether it be track or road, motor-sport or daily driver.
Tub + all frp panels Sub 150Kg (330 pounds)
It does not mount to a z chassis as it is a FRP monocoque.
Also said that he wouldn't really recommend the chassis exactly like the one he has in the pics. Instead He would go for a much simpler bulkhead fitting version that could easily be built buy us or (from our plans) by your local garage maybe yourself if you have the skills?
Shell + all panels £3750.00 (individual panel prices if needed tomorrow)
shipping around the world should not be a problem in this day & age, so will enquire about that when/if necessary
