The seat rails look really far forward on the drivers side. Are you going to fit behind the wheel?

I don't get the fuss, if it's a bad shell then why bother restoring it if you have a better one avalible?

Who said the Mercury Grey shell was bad? And personally I don't really think the Crystal Blue shell was that bad either... The problem is simply that it still seems they make more money in parts than as a whole.

Sander told me before and now he also posted it a few posts above

But indeed the fetchs more money in parts that complete. But then again it means we have more spare parts for our cars
