yea, i still cannot get over how good condition it is for the money, ok its got a slight bit of rust just stating at the bottom of one of the rear arches at the bottom corner, but everywhere else is very solid had the carpet out and floor was like new, lip under boot seal is like new, inner arches are like new could't have got much better and only one small dent in car and thats on the bonnet

i love it

got loads of extras too if you read the post you will see lol they were all bargins too.
