The shell should keep you busy for a bit - have you got any other parts for it?

[stumpy75]

Subframe with 16v engine hubs mounts ect the rest i will get as i go
A pair of doors and a good boot lid are on the wanted list atm if anyone has them at sensible money inbox only as dont want to go off topic

So i was in the shed and decided to start cutting and cleaning the inner wing /flitch area to see if i could repair or wether a new full inner wing panel would be needed the good news is i can get away with repairing and a new flitch panel which is great as really didnt fancy buying a full panel and chopping half of it off (flip front) and this side is worse than the other so nothing to frighten me yet
