On the whole the shell is pretty good, only a small patch by one bolt behind the rear plastic arches, the other side is fine. Around the windscreen is pretty good too. Sunroof doesn't leak to my knowledge but I think it's sealed shut, I haven't actually opened it as it doesn't leak and I'm happy with that.
Just needs the drivers inner sill working on, the rust has slightly crept onto the floor pan but only a tiny amount.
Both outer sills need replacing.
A steering rack boot is split and a rear brake caliper isn't working 100% apart from that it will pass an mot.
A few bolt holes in the floor need welding up as when I got it it had a weird frame bolted in with r19 seats bolted to that, it lifted the seating position quite a lot and being 6'3" wasn't ideal so that came straight out, strange why it was done as original seat mountings are fine.
The car is currently stripped out with just the dash inside.
The outside has front wings off, rear plastic arches and side skirts off, front bumper off.
Engine hunts when cold due to cold start injector.
Could make a good project for someone.
I will try and add pics ASAP of what it looked like before and what it looks like now.
I have no problem putting it all back together but just seems a little pointless considering.
Looking for offers as it NEEDS TO GO.
Trying on here first then if not it'll go on eBay.
