Ok time for an update ,first of all big thanks to Beefy for sorting out the remaining panels that i needed for it these will be welded into place very soon 
Also been gathering some other parts
st170 front brakes
complete rear disk conversion
Suspension kit (will go coilovers later on but this will get us going)
Bought some turbo rear arms as they have the roll bar bracket and a rear roll bar ,arms will all be powdercoated and came polybushed
Bought a saftey devices cage off a mate yesterday whose project has come to a halt ,it was a base one with no diagonal so a few years back he had the cross welded in ,i added a pair of harness bars to it and painted it up ,just need to drill the floor and bolt it in
Also in this pic you can see the carbon panel that replaces the wheel well
More soon

Ok got some pictures for the stripped bay and the offending rot which is next to be delt with
Usual headlamp panels and lower crossmember to be changed
Also a little bit at the end of the chassis rail to deal with
Next update should see the welding in progress
