Bought this off darren and mark at the beginning of the year and had intended to build it to my own spec but have since decided to rebuild it with a cross flow and a few subtle changes.
They shell should hopefully go away this week, as i bought a spit of darrel off here but i wanted to add wheels etc and the car will be fitted to spit once its at the bodyshop
The shell was bought as a rolling shell and i have since bought, and got bits along the way.
Heres a few pics off how she was when i got here, the previous owner had decided to weld up the heater hole in the dash and a few holes in the bulk head as he was going to run wiring under wings etc and no heater.

I liberated the heater hole undernerneath the welded plate and have started to remove the plates in the bulkhead.
Mark had already fitted new back panel, slam and rad suports and it had new wings and inner sills by the previous owner.

will post a few more pics later when photobucket stops having a funny 5 mins
