good to see the body been put to good use instead of being a large garden feature!

ElectricDave found someone who repaired a shell that had very similar damage.

Don't want to scare you, but something to check when using a chassis from a shell that has frontal damage is that the damage wasn't caused by a crash. Frontal impact can cause bending to the forks and/or chassis near the headstock. I'd hate to see you put in long hours restoring the chassis only to end up disappointed.

Good point Karl - will check it out - must admit I didn't think about how the damage was caused.

How about doing the C5 in the Gulf racing scheme from the 60's i/e Pale Blue with the orange stripe running across it. This is my most favourite racing colour scheme ever.
