alot of money for a fooked car, good for a track car or bits.

Saying that, wonder what that would be like on the track, will it stay together.

when following it, the bit that drew me to it was the offside rear quarter gaps to the tailgate grew from normal size at the top to huge at the bottom of the tailgate, then the pass front door didnt line up with any of the suage lines

Panels are supposed to line up? But when I bought my car I was *assured* it had been checked and registered by HPI, surely they can't be wrong???
