5 years of pain

[Thorneyr5]

5 years ago i bought a completly bare shell that was ready for the scrap heap when i decided to throw some money into it . It sat in my garage for 4 years or so as i didnt have the room or tools i needed to put it together . But now i do so i thought wtf i might aswell finish it .

The shell as i bought it minus the wheels

Prob a bad idea painting all interior plastics black as over time will start to look shabby but i plan on it not being an everyday car it should hold out ok .

The engine is currently being built so will have more pics v soon.
