Hi there,
Im just starting a rebuild of my old track day car as it got very slow and tired!

I completely stripped the shell and done some body mods, Ive tubbed the rear arches, lowered the boot floor, removed the rear seats and bins and then had it completely shot blasted. Suprisingly theres only 3 little holes, so i patched them up and im going to fit a fibre glass front end and doors.

I had the shell painted and received it back last nite!

Before stripped
