And know i bought this on ebay 2day and i went and had a look and i must say i was'nt to sure with the pics on ebay but up close when you look and the engine,arches and cills etc its mint there is no rust what so ever it is a very solid shell and am very happy with it, its only a 1ltr but it will do me untill i get more funds for a bigger power engine, it also comes with a 1.3 sport engine so i might put that in but not sure yet.
But plans are flame red paint job, gloss black bumpers and skirts, full stainless exhaust, stripped rear, bucker seats, show cage, rear brace, gaz or avo coilovers, fully poly bushed, gloss black speedline alloys.
