changing the i'd over?
Need proof of the new shell ID,ther is a plate on the slam pannel which normaly has the colour tag,on a new shell the code can be traced back to the ford data base for verification,that the shell is what it it is.
The local crime squad will do this and re stamp the new shell
If you ask them nicely they will doothe floor as it was ,and not the strut top you must also use a nunber of your original parts ,as per a points system .
Hope that helps



Boxxer/RS3DR's old one?
Thats the one ,needed a small bit of welding drivers side cill,and new brake lines which a good freind of mine did.He then converted a set of RST Recaros to fit,oil and water change ,stripped out what was left of the interior matting,and took off the stickers
Through its test (with my cossie wheels on) £180 quid fully comp ,jobs a good one

does it matter if most parts are modded i'e bit's like shock's spring's wheel's
exhaust or is it as long as they come of the car getting stripped and do they
stamp it after it's completed?
