    Is that rad a tx Motorsport one that has some bad reviews? if yes what do you think of it?

    Oh my god, my old shell

    firstly, before you think I did any structural work on this then you're wrong ha. I bought it and made it into a GSi rep and apart from driving it
    home 5 miles when I bought it I never actually drove the thing. I never took it through an mot and got it on the road. There's also a reason why I gave the shell away, Dave only wanted the doors and sunroof and I said he can take the shell with it.

    However, so glad that you have saved it. Some really tidy work you've done. It is an Antibes, I think I've still got all the paper work for it, had a massive box full of stuff as the previous owner spent a bit on it. He also knew some cowboy mates and it went in for a lot of work a couple of times during his ownership as he binned it just after his first rebuild. That will explain why the White paint under the wrap was 3 different shades because some bellend couldn't match paint properly, and that's why I ended up vinyl wrapping it.

    If you can make it look like I had but actually make it sound underneath I will love you forever and want it back. Few pics of how it was in my year of ownership

    I haven't been active much this past year because I bought a house and been busy with that. Was just by luck that I stumbled across this thread, wasn't expecting it to be my old shell.

    i wasn't saying you were blaming me ha, but just wanted to get the point across incase anybody thought it was my doing . I suppose that was the reason why I never got it on the road because I knew it wasn't up to standards. Was also the reason why I stripped it for parts and never even thought about advertising it as a whole car.

    You've done the right thing though, people need to give these cars the effort they deserve and keep them on the road, will be worthwhile in the end. If I remember tomorrow I'll see if I've got all that paperwork and post it to you. I chucked a lot of stuff away but I think I kept all that stuff, hopefully anyway.

    Keep up the good work!
