Looks like a good project though

Its a harsh reality that these cars are now just 13 year old and when you look at new cars not rearly that expensive, you would love to hear the comments from some of my none car loving mates
to some people a car rearly is just a car

If there is one good thing about the car being in that state at least you know exactly what your getting 
... ie body kit/trim is off so you can see all of the shell ... no where to hide dodgy repairs or rust heh
escossie I love the idea of a neat (realiable
?) daily driver ... with a beast in the garage Your missus is v lucky 
Good luck with it all ...
