80VD body panels

Looking for a few Body panels:

Does anyone out there have an 80 vd rear engine cover laying around? Or know of anyone who has the molds for it? I have talked to Simon at universal racing in the UK, but wanted to see if anyone had a used one laying around or knew of any molds in the US.

I would also be interested in the full body for an 81VD if someone has one of those hanging around.

contact me thru PM or at leadingedgeracing@yahoo.com

unless i'm mistaken (which is possible), first pic is of the rear section 80VD, and second full 81VD

As my fellow SCCBC competitor has an RF-81 and it looks just like your second pic...

...I'd say you're not mistaken.

I can confirm the first photo is the same as my rf80,and I would also be interested in a source for bodywork here in the states as well!

I have a nose mould for an early VD, what does the nose look like on that car ?

Dave,
Here is a pic of the nose for this car.. But thankfully I have four of them right now.. only need the rear body right now, so if you know of a source that would be great..

Cheers,
Bob

In my frighteningly large collection of spares I have a VD81 body that's new and has never been mounted. It may take a village to get it to you, but I could make you a pretty good deal. If you're not interested in new, I have another that has been mounted/used. Send me a PM and I'll get back to you.

Bob, yes that is the nose mould I have, it's been a long time hangin around our mould yard and I forgot what year it was, thanks again and good luck.

Bob,

Car is in my shop if you want to try 81 top and 82 nose

Clamshell rear covers are available. A bit more slippery.

Will an RF80 nose fit an RF81?

Been looking for a brand new RF81 nose but havent been able to find someone in the states with a mold and the ability to produce a piece. If Preform Resources has an RF80 mold set I am sure they also have the ability to pop a nose from it and I could use it as a spare. Any thoughts?

Don't know for sure, but I doubt if the 80 and 81 noses mount the same, since the 81-up are rocker arm suspensions. Call Pennon Composites- they have all the noses.....

Hey guys, Just so you know, I purchased John's entire mould collection in 2012. I know he had the nose moulds for the 80-85 90-current. I have the 80 nose mould but the 81-85 moulds and many other moulds are still at his place. Due to the sheer volume of moulds (over 500) I was forced to gather only the ones I had orders in hand for. I am planning on going out to central NY in the early spring to collect the remaining moulds as I now have space to house all the remaining moulds.

So, if anyone needs an 80 nose I have that mould and can fab one up for you. In April or so I will have all the other moulds.

Thanks guys!

I am also looking for body parts for a 1982 Van Dieman (RF82). I have attempted to contact Allan Opel at Pit Lane Services as he had stated that he had a couple noses for the RF 82. I have not been able to get a reply so wonder if he is still doing business. I have also emailed Universal Racing out of the UK to Simon but have have not heard back from him either. So I'm looking for a couple noses and the full body panels for RF82. I would appreciate if anyone has these parts for sale or has some leads on where to get them. Also looking for a RF82 exhaust header.

URS will get back to you - Simon is on holiday at the moment. I've bought a few things from the, in the last few weeks.

I also am looking for an 82 VD nose and body.. I may have an exhaust header.
