You should be able to get them from http://www.sevenselans.com/ in MA or http://www.rmsci.com/ in CO But take advice that the rear panel is a pain to form around the top tubes. I went through 3 panels trying. The other panels are easy. Mike sugino38878.800150463

Sal, Having been through the process, The skin typically cannot be salvaged. There are 5 panels that are welded together when put on the chassis. New panels are not that expensive anyway and would just buy new ones. I don't know how it is progressing, but removal of the rear section is the most difficult. Mike

I am selling my collection of Lotus / Seven books, manuals and Low Flying magazines. I would like to sell as a complete set. All are in as new condition. I am taking offers.

I don't know what I will build next, but I would like to do another Seven.

I have put my Seven on Ebay. Item # 4626909237 Please pass it on to anyone that is interested. Thankssugino38805.4685069444

The dash was a blank item from Caterham, I used flat sheets of CF for the interior panels as well as a full underpan.

Here is my dash (Caterham) http://members.cox.net/sugino.m/build/seven_dash.JPG

The Diff is from a Ford Sierra. I built the uprights to use bearing carriers and drive parts from the Sierra and used the driveshafts from the Caterham.

I converted mine from DeDion to IRS (my own design) http://members.cox.net/msugino/build/rear_suspension.jpg

Many Caterham owners use one of these >http:// www.signaldynamics.com/products/Modules/turn.asp from the motorcycle world. I have one on my Seven with a couple of switches directly on the steering wheel sugino38737.2444675926

The Body is all aluminum (fenders and nosecone included) The entire car has no paint, everything is polished aluminum, anodized aluminum, polished stainless, chrome plated or nickel plated. I just finished the car within the last month, even though it is a 1989. I started with a new kit from Caterham and 15 years and 4000hrs later here is the result. I have not test driven it yet. only dyno time and the entire car on a test stand. I just passed my level II inspection (AZ) and have a title.sugino38736.6865162037

I was pointed to this forum from a California Caterham Forum. I don't have a Rotus, but a Caterham and hope I am welcome. Here is my Seven: http://members.cox.net/sugino.m/build/seven_front.JPG http://members.cox.net/sugino.m/build/seven_engine_bay.JPG sugino38736.6309027778
