Where on earth do you start with a conversion like this lol

Is it just a case of butchering a Sapphire floor pan and welding sections in?

Stunning! Look forward to seeing that when it's done

How about faded Radiant Red paintwork apart from the bits where the 'Royal Mail' stickers have been peeled off

definately leave the dent in the wing and as said before "rough it up" a bit more. Just park it in Tesco's car park and you should get a few more dents lol
