Lots left to go
Any suggestions on sources for parts - especially tub and nose most welcome
Any other suggestions also welcome on how to proceed

Have you tried contacting the team? If you go about it the right way they might be willing to at least tell you how many tubs they made that year and where all the tubs are now. At which point you can decide whether its worth while trying to find them or not.

I think the most important part is the tub because it is the backbone for all the parts so make it a priority to get the tub before you invest in other parts . Also check performance blogs and forums for FI parts.

I shot this pic at IGI Delhi and it was a mix of VJM02 and VJM01 with 09 livery

So many parts to be found, ever considered a 60's or 70's car?
They can be built from scratch easily being mostly sheet aluminium.
I will wish you well and keep checking up every 6 months, cheers.
