same,my mate paid 3900 quid for one,i told him i would have a look,but he went himself as i was at work
he told me it was an rsoc car it was mint,had a look at it it was fookin rotten,sill to floor which is hidden by carpets,rear wheelhouses which is hidden by kit or car being so low you cant feel the rotten metal up there,hey but it had loads of history and a detailed engine bay
he paid 600 quid for welding and sold the car for 2200 quid,lost 2300 in 6 months at least
