I've just sent him an e mail, it's alot of work,I've prepared 2 cars to MSA logbook spec now and each time I've said never again, but this is beyond that, look at it though, I know it's alot of work,and money to finish, but it could be the best ever!
If my Series 2 goes at the weekend, I'll go and have a look, but, looking at it, you'll need another Mk2 donar car too, and nothing will fit as it's all like proper race car sheet,I'll have to get my mate welding overtime on it! Is it too much?not money, but effort.

Tiff, have a look up close, although it's a shell, most shell rebuilds have mounting points etc, this has nothing, not even to mount a dash! I can see door mounting lugs and thats it, everything else has to be fabricated,A loom would need installing, fuse box etc, and how do you mount the front lights ina spaceframe?

Alex, He says it's all v slight surface rust, and that the front end is all built, but not in Pics, I'm getting some more pics sent, If I go up I'll give you a shout Alex if you fancy coming along for a look.
Phil, Imagine it in the Gulf colours, but with the tunnel and insides with the orange stripe going through it aswell!
