Now the dust has settled and the insurance company has sorted the claim for the car out I’ve had to decide what to do with the remains. Looking at the car it doesn’t seem too bad, mainly a pair of bumpers and a bit of fibreglass matting and a radiator could see it up and away, but I’ve enough other projects to keep me busy so I’ve decided to sell. I thought about the region of £495 .
Any questions please get in touch.

I’ve had a couple of hours this morning working on the front end, I’ve removed the bumper, straightened out all the brackets and lined up the damage bodywork, a fibreglass repair kit will be purchased and repairs will continue as I get time, meantime it’s still for sale

So just curious, 
Is the steel chassis on a h4 it's chassis or is the body counted part of it too thus a monocoque?

I would call it a chassis as you could bolt the suspension and engine onto it and drive it around with none of the fibreglass in place.
IMO the fibreglass on a H4 adds zero strength to the chassis.
 
Oh, and don’t roll one, the steel tube inside the windscreen surround isn’t fixed to the chassis at all, it’s just fibreglassed to the inside of the front wings.

Are there any pictures of the bare chassis? Or anyone got any?

Bill, did the insurance put any category marks on the logbook at all?

I’ve seen pictures of the chassis so there are some out there, as for the log book, it’s not been requested and when the informed me it would be written off they did say there was no structural damage so it could be put back on the road without any issue.

Did you not see the pictures of my H4 that i've removed the body from a few months ago ?

Sort by date.

Been redoing our Kitchen for the last couple of months but hopefully back on the H4 shortly.

My searching has come up a blank on images of the chassis so anyone with any snaps would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I managed to get a photo-copy of the build manual but having just thumbed through it there is no picture of a chassis in that either.  

I did wonder about doing a pdf of that manual if it's of interest - I have access to a scanner that will do it automatically so it's not a problem to do.

I think all the Quantum manuals are now on the club site since Rob said we were free to copy them.

Attached are the only 2 pictures i ever found of the chassis.

Jim,
Are You interested in a Dutch 2+2 build manual - for on the QSC webside? As the Benelux importer/dealer I translated it.

Hi
Postage would be around £20 at a guess.
Bumpers in gelcoat colour and polished

I’ve been in touch with the insurance company today, the cheque is in the post so not bad for accident on 23rd July. I asked about the category they listed it as and they told me its cat N as there’s no structural damage, my insurance isn’t affected and I’m still progressing repairs, keep the bumpers on one side for me Rob
