Hi Micky1mo
Thankyou for the reply, i will have to go with plan B then, murder and extortion to get a bodyshell.
At the moment there is no definative plan for the body shell as i am ensuring that the chassis is fully up and running with the engine correctly mounted before i decide on a bodyshell route.
Worst case i may decide to modify a spyder shell to fit the SE5, off the top of my head i would assume the se5 chassis to be significantly longer than the herald, plus the samio nose seems to slope away quite quickly which would worry me with trying to locate a lexus v8 under it.
