Well here in Palma de Mallorca we have a very important boat refitting industry. many Super and Megayachts come to be repaired and refitted, so there is quite many people (mostly specialists from UK) who can do that. Had not thought of that but will look into it.
The rear wheel arch right behind the passenger door is partially ripped off and I do not know if that can be fixed properly.
As for the frame I have been able to contact Tom, the son of now defunct George Petrus who will be able to supply a NOS watts linkage spindle housing and make a set of the aluminum A-arms which were fitted to my car.
The rest is pretty much only straightening and welding, allthough I do not see much damage to the frame.
Will have to remove the body no matter what to do all the frame fixing, so once that is done I can asses much better what can be done. Maybe a new body is not necessary.
