 Mike,
I'm having trouble sending mail from my personal e-mail account, so I'm 
using my business account.

I don't have the VIN number to hand, I'll find it & let you know. The wheel 
arches (19" wheels) where custom made, as were the side skirts and general 
all over body blending & shaping. The carbon splitter, rear wing, vents, 
race seat & interior were designed & built by Reverie Carbon Products. The 
gearbox was rebuilt & modified by MDV & Phil Peacock; they, also, fabricated a 
limited slip differential (similar to the one they made for the Audi Le Mans 
team). The engine was built & modified by MDV; it is due to be further 
modified by Field Motorsport. The suspension is fully adjustable. The dampers are 
Ohlins 3 way. The brakes are AP racing. Total rewire by DC electrics. so 
many modifications it is as far away from a standard Pantera as it it possible 
to get.

As for parts: the rear right suspension upright was damaged in the crash, 
so I need another one. I probably won't use a standard Pantera part (even if 
I could find one), I'll probably have a pair fabricated with bigger (wider) 
bearings.

Currently, the car is undergoing body repairs; when they are finished I 
will have moulds taken of the entire body (something I should have done long 
ago), so I can easily replace body panels in future. When the bodyworks are 
completed, the suspension damage will be dealt with. Hopefully, it will all be 
completed before June, so I can race at the Brands Hatch Speedfest on 7 & 8 
June.

here is a link to another You Tube clip from the Brands Hatch Speedfest:
