nice project mate, atleast it will get saved :) im surprised from them pics its not as bad i expected it would be tbh lol

good luck with it pal :thumb:

[johnny_turbo]

i thought it would be alot worse to say its been stood ages. it just needs 4 bits of welding underneath, two sills, 4 bits on the front pannel and the battery try other wise the shell is ok for now not checked the wheel arches yet.
