phil, panels and paint are nothing to worry about as long as there done properly.
Even my bufty mobile has had a panel done, was done by fords so looks factory, and its about to have a fresh coat of paint, i wouldnt mind in the slightest.
As long as its a good job im all for a respray. Why have yellow paint when you can have fresh white paint.

BUT as far as i could see on the SCC ramp and driving it....it is infact very very clean and drives very well and with the AP racing front brakes it feels like i can do endos 
..interior is mint..engine is sound although as i stated to Steve the cambelt was wayyyyy too tight so that was quickly loosened off...a quick tip for you all ALWAYS check cambelt tension when the engine is fully warmed up as setting the cambelt from cold ends up being too tight on warmed up and would cause it to snap prematurely!...Oh and it was noted that the oil pressure on tick over was around 22psi warm but this was at 500rpm tickover...now 1000rpm and around 27psi and when fully synthetic oil that i use goes in it will be around 30psi...so engine in good heath...even though its not crittical as this 3dr will be 600plus bhp in the near future 
As for price i payed i beleive it was a bargain and could easily make on it as the first 30 seconds of viewing with the AP's and 18's on and the fact that no blemishes are present you would buy it...yes i know its had a wing and a plate welded due to someone jacking it up on the floor pan apparently but a pro job was done it looks...oh and its obviously been resprayed...but again i expected that and at the price i payed i aint complaining as it looks the tits and get many looks but dont know wether its my good looks or the cars
So Neil...i am happy thanks whatever you say...

Why do you always end up turning on the people who have genuinely tried
to help you out - And yes, I include myself as one of them ?
