Thanks lads some very different opinions there from scrap to no dramas. I keep telling myself to walk away from it and look at something else. If it wasn't for that inner sill I would buy it I think everything else is cosmetic wings are easy as is front panel arrggghhh why is so hard.

I have already sourced and priced up all the panels I need.

Still on the fence at the minute even mk4s are fetching stupid money if I can find a half decent one I would convert the front end and go down that route.
