    the floors are mint, he did say it has had 1 bit on the passengers floor that was put in flush & i couldnt see it so couldnt get a pic
    has had 1 bit of welding in spare wheel well & has been done neatly & is very minor & the rear of bulkhead had to be slightly modded to accept vaux engine, appart from this the car hasnt seen a welder!

    Hi, does the Drivers side door shut properly or does it hit the seat bolster? and is the shell twisted/been "nipped up" at all? cheers
