   I've occasionally thought about doing something along those lines on a Kitten chassis, I would have thought that as a straight re bodying exercise it would not attract all the testing required by a ground up build, anyone know if that's true ?

Original chassis-no SVA.

Have a look for Liege kitcars.

Hey Shaun, I thought you were trying to thin out your project stable, not expand it!

thats probably what I'm going to do with mine, fit Morris wheels to lift her a little and make the body from whatever I can find  ;D ;D ;D

 I know what you mean, Shaun. I went back to the scrappy where I got my Piggy axle from, and the rest of it is still there with the engine & box still fitted.

 I keep thinking about how I could get the money for it
