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