Mint shells are becoming few ad far between unfortunately. I have been looking for quite a while with not much luck.

They seem to be snapped up v.quickly. I too have been hankering after maxwells shell but with travel costs and time it is a bit of a stretch for me also. Very nice looking shell though none the less.

I was left in a similar situation to the op with a pretty rough shell that had been very cleverly Bodged to look good.

Infancy all the work that went into covering Rot it would have been just as easy/as much work to put it right properly!

Sorry about the essay!

Keep an eye out on Irish websites such as donedeal.ie , they do come up now and then and our cars are not as rusty, I have a mint Irish shell that is in primer

buy a cabrio, they don't rot

I have to agree. I replaced my 90 spec S2 shell with a cabriolet shell and never looked back. They honestly hardly rot at all!
