looks like a bargain.
needs some work though but nothing major by the looks of it
but for ?50 and to get the work done its not bad, onces its done you'll know its been done. Can be a nice car by the end.
No skirts, diamond-turn the alloys (they'll look like BREENY'S compomotives LOL!)-take the vinyl off the 'gate and cut the springs. You should be able to slam it with those narrow wheels...... and definitely leave the centre caps off.!!
Make it a smoothhhyy euro looker.....
Just to correct the last post I didn't mean LITERALLY cut the springs, I meant buy lower springs.......

and i got the monacos off a mate who'd baught them for a project about 18 months ago and never used em - the gmax kit came from the same person :)

welcome to the site matey
the only prob i can see is if the bodywork is that rusty the it aint gonna b long b4 ur boot and floor start fallin out
Aragorn

the boot floor is solid ?!
and as i said ive just had 2 new sills welded on so the car as a whole is solid - just really some surface rust round the edges and a bit here and there in the engine bay
aye the boot floor is gleaming, i stripped it all out an T-cutted it :p
there is a few ware patches where there is no paint, but apart from that its nice and shiney :)
nice car welcome to the site
