Stumbled on this 'perpetual' thread yet again....
I have a question - if the factory's suggestion was to re-body and re-chassis the burnt-out car because of the extent of the damage that was evident AND the uncertainty of the extent of the heat damage to the chassis, how could the original chassis then be re-used and the car be able to be legally re-registered for road or track use?
Cheers!
