Naaa, course it's not :)

I picked up this "solid shell" :roll: a couple of days ago,

yes, complete with clear indicators, eyebrow spoilers and smoked rear lights :D

Image

it's had a pair of rear arches/quarters put on already

BUT.........

the inner's are a bit worse for wear, on both sides

Image

Image



So looks like i'll be getting the grinder and welder out to sort the mess!



and it will probably be getting a blow over as im sure the paint is not right,
it's supposed to be

Image

but it looks more dulux black or mebbies gloss black,
either way, it's not right.

I'm sure once i've finished with it, it'll be all goooood

Nice, those inner arches aren't that bad really, i've seen a lot worse. Looks like a cracking little project, looking forward to this one :)

Yeah I've seen worse in that area, but those are the tame pictures,

I'll get some up of the real mess,
it looks like the whole drivers side rear quarter, might have to come off to do the top of the inner :(

but I have a vision, I can see what it's going to look like when it's done,
it'll take time and a lot of effort to get there, im in no rush.

and engine wise, hmm i'm toying with a couple of ideas :D

:cool:
