Not being nasty or anything but I have scrapped better than that shell. But fair play if you manage to get it all done

the floors in excellent condition, and the strut tops are ok but theyre gonna get extra plating anyway. the door was so bad because one of the previous owners didnt replace the rubber at the bottom of the glass, so water was just running straight in! And the arch and rear panel had never had the road salt cleaned off, you should have seen the dirt stuck to the inside of the rear bumper!, and a full bucket of muck from inside the rear arches alone! I've scrapped better before aswell, but i've got the astra to run around in for another few months and don't like being bored on a weekend.
