Well picked this up today with mark...the engine ang box did not last long in it and that has now been pulled out.
I really only bought it for the cage which shall be going in the tungsten 5 for track
The shell is really no good to be honest and would need a fair bit of weld to bring it back...plus no vin or plates nor V5 so will be going to scrap tomorrow
There is also a very nice cup car and a tungsten cabby at mark fish...anyone wishing to purchase those ph1 seats then they are in very good condition :agree:

Honestly Andy mate, its bad. Round the passenger side once we took the sideskirts off its totally gone. Plus where the cage has been welded it the floor has rotton away.
Beofre it goes tomorrow i'll get some pic's and stick it on here.
That's not rolling on MXV's per chance is it?

Yes i believe it has 2 or maybe even 3 mxv's with i also believe quite good tread
:) Is this the point where you say "Yeah, but we're keeping them"? :D
If not, can I have first dibs on them please.

Quick work.
Was very rusty round the bottom of the cage posts. could see plenty of daylight.
The rest of the shell is very very straight, so make Rich an offer for pieces before he scraps it! Rear quarters, roof and whole of the front are great. Just floorpan and sills are gone.
Mart, keen eyes. How could you tell from that picture, obviously a better screen than my Dell... Check those MXV's guys, they sat for a long time.
A lucky guess mate, that's all.
I'm assuming they're the MXV road type tyre, as opposed to the MXV coupe/track type?
Aii, I'm hoping they're not cracked, perished or wall-bulged...

It went to scrap yard today, after we finished with it it weighed 420kg which worked out to £32.
We stripped most of the good bits off of it so not all was wasted.

Yeah a few bits chris..engine,box,A very clean untouched engine loom. and the gt kit..a few other bits an bobs
I didnt realise that the front of the cage runs right up against the front screen :dearme: both top and bottom. so i've now swapeed with marks cage so i dont have to cut away the dash. Marks not got a dash in the drag 5 so happy days all round :agree:

Doesnt look like the cage is in-tact! Does it look worse than it is?

Cage is fine just needs a DA and perhaps a coat of red oxide along with marks choice of colour
To be honest although the qtrs are good and drivers door, bonnet... pas side has a load of filler and with these holes in the floor it wouldnt make sense to spend money on repairing it
