Thanks for all the advice, I do need a sheel with ID, I would love another cosworth obviously but that is highly improbable!!

I paid £600 for my car from north birmingham car salvage, A fiend of friend let me know about it.

I have already sourced the skirts that are damaged, (through a friend) but unfortunately, I am lacking a shell!!! I was going look at getting it done, until I HPI'ed it, and found out how bad it is. The police (who were in possession) of it, even refused to give the logbook, until the car was repaired and VIC'ed. It will always have a history and a new shell is alot easier. It will still retain the cosworth parts that matter, just won't say the right thing on the logbook

annoyingly one wheel is smasshed, so I'm on the look out for one, and the bottom arm is bent on the front. Police have had it in storage for 2 years, god knows why it suddenly reappeared!

If anyone has a 3 door shell/XR4 shell or car with ID, I would be greatful if you could let me know. As far as I can tell, I think this ones has been almost on its side ho bad the damage is!

But it is a genuine 3 door cossie and after all that time, witha spare wheel on it did conk in to llife and move under its own steam
