Tug Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Have a look for Grafil bodies, they make some largescale stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Check out Ebay.de and type 'Karosserie' looking for 'Modelbau'. There are a few 'opportunist alternatives' there - some quite interesting. Grafil had big problems initially, and made no friends by being bullish, but apparently 'all is well'. I hope so as well - don't see why not. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the problems are fixed now that they had in the early stages, they're using a new supplier for the lexan and things, so they're about as strong as a large scale body can be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH1 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Have you looked at Alan Woodall crafts? AWC or grpcraftsman on eBay. Dunno if they're any good, but for the price I'm tempted to try one for my 5sc. Edited November 23, 2013 by PH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norney hurtmore Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 the quality of Alan Woodall's shells are outstanding....and very heavy (approx 2kg) this guy makes good quality shells too http://www.fshopups.com/fiberglass-bodies.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norney hurtmore Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 you don't need his carbon undertray (although these do keep the crud out) you can fabricate your own body mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the FG side mounts, presumably for the normal Marder shell, I've also got the tub from the Beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norney hurtmore Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 all you need are some long body-posts. Don't have a link as i used to run Beetle shells. PM Dwarfy on here as he has some good body mounting ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Sorry for hijacking, but are the awc shells any good? Although they are strong, I don't know how good fibreglass would be at absorbing impacts? Edited November 27, 2013 by PH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
