This will probably be up for sale. I wanted it to look original in the bay, a plates been welded in to take out the xe cutout. But at the same time the body shop ground down the stitch weld and seam welded the inner wing / turrets - which takes away the standard look... Groan, annoyed about that. The work the guys doing on the shell is immense, at the back it's all hand fabricated. Once finished I'll be giving him 3700 for body and paint work. The car will come with shell, early sr glass, doors, bonnet, tailgate, Daytona sr interior, no engine or box as sold the xe and was going to put a 1.3 back in, gaz coil overs, all the tank, axle, tie bars, arb all powder coated. New poly bushes and new brake line kit. New rear drums, bearings, track road ends etc. I don't think I'll get anymore sourcing an engine and nice wheels but it will be rolling with full paint and all glass in, doors built up.

What? why? that's a real shame
I'm waiting to see what it looks like when finished but I wanted the factory look, but I think it'll have the panel overlaps gone. I've spent so much money on it and I'm at least another grand for a 1.3 engine, alloys and tyres. I wanted an original car and I could get one for a lot less than what I've spent on this. Will see over the next 3 weeks once paints finished.
John shut up!
Your never ever going to find a genuine Jamaica yellow SR for under £5.000 imo..
And not one that will be this clean, there is engines about, so grab one and be the only genuine one on here!...
