You can get an original spec car, tub supplied by yourself, for not a deal more than a Hawk kit.
Here's a decent Spider in the UK but provisionally sold.... Might not be too late though!

Personally I think that an 037 replica should be done with a Monte Carlo tub as a starting point! I do regret getting rid of the tub I had bit it wasn't practical to store it forever.... Prices for an original 037 make a replica feasible now, back when I considered it the cost of the kit built exceeded the cost of a Stradale 037 so it just didn't make any sense. Unfortunately I didn't have the spare cash for the Stradale at the time! I wonder how much it would cost to import?
At Rally Legends 2010 we visited a workshop where there were many cars being prepped. They also had spare subframes lying about.... Don;t know if they were available for sale though.

I paid $2450 for my Scorpion just about a month ago, I will admit that I got a great deal. I know of a total basket case that the guy wants $3000 for, I think it is worth more like $500 for it's condition, plus it doesn't have a current title, and there is a big hole where the floor board used to be.
That one that Paul showed, stated it needed the front brakes rebuilt, more likely it needs the master cylinder replaced, I had to do that on mine, after replacing the front calipers didn't solve the problem.
OOOPPPSSSS how did that happen. Well yesterday I commited to purchase another Scorpion, listed as a parts car. I have all the pieces missing except the radiator. I purchased the car as a parts car, but one of the residuals is that I will also have a steel center section needed to create a 037 replica.
I've been in corresponance with these guys, they tell me that they had access to a real 037 to create their kit. He loved that fact that I was building a Stratos, he said their was a Startos at the same place where the 037 was that they used.
Hi,
someone knows from which car is the (light with turn signal) on the 037 ???
i found it it's Renault 4 from 82 and made by VALEO
and now i have purchased an Lancia Montecarlo, i have some Abarth parts,
i have ordered the 037 kit in Italy, the light with turn signal also.
and here the pictures like the way we will go!
That looks great, very similar to what the guys in New Zealand are doing. They are using a Gamma gearbox for their re-creations. For me it is about the same shipping cost whether I ship from Italy or New Zealand since I live on the west coast of the USA.
