I would do the stripping of interior, so he could literally just start on the job. That's really what I was wanting an estimate based on the photo's, he has not answered and just said his prices, which implies that once he has started he may not be able to do it in a day, and at that point you are committed, is my concern.
I also am concerned about the standard of repair, I asked him if it would be seam welded, so it would pass an MOT, again he has not answered.

Think I will give it a go, and move the MK2 Fiesta on, the thing is no one is going to want either of them, so they are scrap value.
Ideally I would like this to go to someone as a "donor" car.
