Looked like a really clean shell, did you crash it then strip it out for the floor, can't quite work it out.

More importantly - whats the floor going into?

Fiesta mk1 would be cool if you can chop enough out to make it fit.
Or even something totally mad like an old Wolseley or other classic rusty shed.

max, i know mate, you would have made a killing on it, probably worth about 20k now judging by what people are putting there 3dr's up for now

havent got any good pictures of the car when i crashed it, as it went straight to the recovery companys yard, got a few pictures from down there, but there only shitty camera pictures, and when it came back it went straight into the garage.

With a bit of string and a plastic seat you could have the worlds coolest Soap-box style Go-Kart.

too late andy, they've just been and collected it.

it would requite a proper cutter to remove them, which i just didnt have.

people had enough chances to buy the glass but never bothered.
