If you guys google the vin you can see the build sheet on this particular car. With all options and cost. It was sold through Hillbank Motorsports it cost nearly 90k to build the car with no A/C.

The 620R nose looks beautiful I had to go with that. The real main reason i chose this option was because the engine ran kinda hot in warm weather. I have driven the car with the nose cone and hood off with no heat issues in similar warm weather. So it’s an air flow issue. Soon we will find out if this nose with all these air vents will make a difference. Plus the car has A/C so there is a condenser in front of the radiator. I had to make new lower mounting points because this nose is 1.5 inches lower everything else is identical. Cool view of the oil tank

Some body work was required on the rear section to make it look clean. Keep in mind the aluminum is very thin and flexible. Cam out vary nice👍🏻

Some parts were definitely damaged as you can see. I can’t say the car was in good shape some work was required. Although there is still some front lower rail work required I will post some pictures of that to view later. Overall the car is not in a shape to be considered a salvage. The previous owner told me that the problem was acquiring parts plus it was COVID time. So there were problems overall plus it is an unusual car so they just wrote it off. The rear wheel angle was off and the weak link was that aluminum plate where the caliper and the hub mounts. I just redid the fenders using fiberglass where it was required. Came out clean and stronger.

I ordered some parts from Caterham I including the nose cone. Interesting enough all the parts got here in Los Angeles in like 4 days. Yes this car came with an ac. I bought this car with a salvage title due to very minor damage I have documented all the repairs

There is no catch after COVID nobody wants to work. Easier to ride it off. Rear front fenders need work. Little bit body work near trunk area. That’s about it. No flood damage. Car fired right up and drove straight no issues.
