Very nice indeed. It like the sort of project I'd be happy to take on myself, all the annoying bodywork done, just the fun bit of bolting in all the goodies :)

Hey, think he adjusted them to fit coilovers shock & spring beacause they don't fit with the standard ones (not 100% sure though). Was told I could still fit either though.....

Will add more pics over weekend. I paid £850 for shell (+ £100 for lad to deliver), came with about 9 boxes of spares, 1600 engine and box, strut brace, performance anti roll bar for big block engine, alloys, and various other parts. Just needs a rad, interior, GTE fuel tank and engine/box and its complete.
