037 Recreation

[peteracs]

There's such a minimum of the original Monte tub left for a proper 037 conversion Peter. Whatever rust is left in the very small tub wouldn't be much to tackle?
For example; every 'new' group 4 Escort shell built these days, nearly always needs a small amount of restoration before any fabrication begins, and there's a lot more shell to restore.

There is that and the work would be fairly small compared to full restore, however I suspect in the UK at least, there are likely to be few available in this state, hence from a future point of view, having a new centre secion fabricated like the current Stratos replicas I would have thought makes sense, though I have no knowledge of what is involved as to how practical it would be.

I think there are enough rusty ones still out there, and I think most potential owners would want an 037 replica based on the factory steel centre tub? Well I would?
I'd rather have had a Stratos rep with a steel tub too, but that's much more difficult and expensive than a Monte based car.

What about a spaceframe that has versions to accept both Monte steel tub or a fibreglass one?
