Hi mate. Good luck with the project, i went to view this myself, was gonna have it, went back with a trailer but changed my mind when i saw it on some wheels. Was a bit concerened about the geometry on the rear. Decided to save my money for the time being. You got a lot of parts and most of the work done for your money tho.

Keep this updated, i will be interested to see how it's going.

the shell i bought is not being used, for that very reason, i have some issues with my own project which i needed the one off of ebay for, basicly used it as a doner car, the geometry on the rear is allways sortable tho, move the mounting lugs ect, and slot the holes.. seen it many times..
