Mine is not brilliant, as per most, but it's all being sorted, and you can look on the link below in the restorations section of the site to check out how it's going!

the only place mine is rusting is on the rear arches...ne idea how much roughly they would be to cut out and replace? But the rest of the car is sound!
even under the carpet everything looks spot on! might rub it down and put another layer of paint on it though just for extra protection

I'm considering the re-shell option too. Mine is starting to go in all the places people have mentioned so far
Tried a couple of places (Ford & Simpsons) to get a shell..but none out there anymore. Even considered getting non-RS shell...but it seems a shame to scrap a genuine RS shell..and the rebuilt car would not be worth as much should you come to sell it. If I went the full resto direction then I don't think I'd ever sell it...even tho its had £000's spent already
