There's a chance i'll finally be getting my shell back next Saturday and i'll need to move it on quickly as i don't have anywhere really to store it.
I can only store it at work for a short period of time...
Basically i bought the shell without an engine and was going to build it back up to being a runner...
However i wasn't happy with the bodywork so sent it off to be restored and resprayed.
A breakdown in communication and personal circumstances have lead to it being unfinished.
This is one of the last photos of it being taken down to bare metal for its restoration:

It has since had new panels where required and a full bare metal restoration. The last words describing it were "straight as an arrow and sat in primer".
The only things non standard about it:
Doors have been delocked.
Bonnet badge recess has been smoothed over.
Engine and Gearbox mounts have been adapted to take a 2.0 Zetec engine and MTX75 gearbox.
The car is as far as i'm aware a rolling shell.
It has 90spec front bumper and rear spoiler - the build date of the original car was 31st December 1989 and it's on a G plate.
Would be looking for around £1750 which is less than what it's cost me!
Please let me know if you're interested.
Thanks.

Thank you - i'm not out to make money on this - i just need to recoup as much as i can and move on...
Just to clarify, the shell will come complete as a rolling shell with doors, tailgate, bonnet, bumpers, spoiler, mirrors etc.
It would literally just need painting and putting back together!
