No bother man. Let us know.
i'd like to have a look round it to be honest.
i came close to having a go at it myself because it looked so good/so cheap.
But couldnt justify it in the end. And of course, no money.
And if its anywhere as tight as it looks, youve really scored!

Well, i picked it up last week and just wanted to get straight home to have a tinker wi it. It looks as though it was an mot failure as the sills were chalked up. I took it for an mot myself just to see what it would fail on, and it failed on the following: an 8 inch long rust hole in each sill, seat belt anchorage point corroded, wipers dead, indicator bulb blown, emissions too high. I fixed the last 3 on that list quite easily, and i've ordered up 2 brand new sills from beaver auto panels and a welder. No point patching them as they always go somewhere else a few months after. Will keep you updated on progress. Pics up soon. Scott
