i tried that and it comes up nothing found i thought it was odd but thats why i asked cos i want to do as much research as poss before

 

bloody hell that was a read an a half but very useful thanks just hope its not a bag of s##t then

 

Fuse box
battery tray
inner wings
chassis rails front/back
roof
boot floor
sills
floor pans

Basically everywhere. Dont worry about mechanical problems as they can be fixed. if you pick up a snotter of a shell then you are fooked to start with.
