Craig green is selling a shell. Would be a good base to start from. Has a lot of the plates already welded on too.

Why bin your shell? If it really that bad? Just seems like a waste.

Why not prep the shell your self? You have lots of time on your hands after all....

You have lots of time on your hands after all....theres no point who ever built it and put wide arches on it done the WORST job ever, the whole car would need to be taken back to bear metal, new roof skin, two new doors, 2x widen front arches, and completley rebuild both rear quarters, just not worth the hassle

Oh christ, didn't know it was that bad. I'd flog it on and use the cash from it to buy a nice clean shell.

Vaux box in Leicester has a mk1 shell ready for paint, it looked really tidy when I picked up the Gsi from him. It's still a 1.2 tho

It shill had the1.2 in but looked a clean shell. He said it owed him £250 so I'm guessing that's the rough price he wanted for it. It had all the panels and glass etc.

Do it! Re paint the **** in a nice mk1 gte original colour like mistral gray would be nice, and with wider arches give a nice range of wheels! :)
