Hello all,

Recently purchased an ek9 chasis is EK9-1202422, White, June 11, UK, FJC car

when I went to see it I fell in love being all original even with Aircon still installed! I checked all the usual and was very happy with the bodywork condition just a bit of surface rust underneath...

anyway I decided right away I would strip it down and rust treat understand with POR15, upon removing the bumpers I discovered the front has had a small knock at some point... It's mainly damaged the bottom rad support it wasn't really visible until I took the bumper off, it seems repairable and the chasis legs seem straight but would like other opinions?? Money is no object!

Everything still bolts and lines up properly? Bumper, lights, grill etc. No odd gaps? The radiator itself still sit in position straight and flat? Looks like a slight knock yh but not huge
 
Cheers Pete! Everything lined up fine, as you can see from these pictures that's where one of the owners hit a small pole or something... You can see the bottom rad support is bent due to the damage but I think nothing a whole new front rad support can't sort?!

P.s. don't let the photo fool you, the top support and middle bar is level, it's the bottom one that's out! Looks the opposite on the photo!
