Hi all

 

is the spar that goes across the fronT of the engine bay (has the vin badge, radiator attached etc) part of the chassis?

 

Im hoping not cos I think mines bent only bought the car yesterday

 

The cover for the air intake has had a new hole drilled for it about a cm lower than the original on the right hand side. Once on it all looks very straight. I know its been in a bash otherwise it wouldnt be like that but is this chassis damage?

 

Bit gutted so any advice greatly appreciated

to be honest the only way to tell is have it examined by an independant specialist ..

did you buy it as crash damaged ? ....as far as i am aware the front cross brace is not a structural part of the chassis for "straightness" but is intended for "stiffness" purposes

Thanks mate really appreciate that

 

No it wasnt crash damaged bought off Skey on this site. Awesome engine work but the body and interior are pretty untidy.

 

If it was bent I think Id still be quids in by just buying a dead one and swapping engine etc.

 

Thanks again mate. Ill run it in and get it sorted slowly is my new project.
