Evening JaguarTVR, sorry you may have misunderstood me. I'm after the underlying body, chassis and PPF but will have to remove the windscreen and trim the body back to fit the planned GRP shell. This gives me Mazda handling without having to design or build a spaceframe (which I don't trust myself to build to a high enough standard), and I can rely on the strength of the factory-built monocoque (even without the non-crashworthy windscreen) as well as a massively simplified build.
If I actually get on with this I will blog it!
I think the answer is to build to IVA regs anyway (which is hardly a bother), document heavily, plump for MOT and if the answer is no, it's IVA.
Thanks Ross, I'll have a look but may stick with the Mazda idea.
