Unfortunately yes, the car was a rotter when I bought it, so its had new wings all round and a front lower valance. A considerable amount of welding around the car, in the boot usual place was also required. Car has been completely wax oiled underneath including outsides of the inner wings.

Not planning to sell thanks, took me ages before i found this one. Good luck with the search!

Thank you all very much for your greats comments on the car. The inspiration was a vision I had to re-create the car in its standard form with a few moderm touchs. If i was a few years younger i probably would have modified it further , but no seriously after it was finished looking at it i just thought its fine just the way it is, quite subtle but those with an eye for detail will know the difference i.e. the rear wiper arm, rear head rests, indicators, GB plates and roof ariel, nothing to OTT.

Yes i am chuffed with it, not many standard GTE's around anymore so, glad the car has changed some peeps minds and may have even twisted their arms into to having a MK1 instead. For me MK1's have always been king, but yeah kind of know what you mean about the sweeky dash which i have begun to experience might take the screw out and stick some locktight in them to reduce the noice. And no will be keepin it just the way it is.

Once again everyone, thanks very much.
