But it's not, the holes in slam panel at the front has been pried apart presumably to fit the carbon grill. 2 dents on either side of the car which he failed to mention. The underside and arches do have rust on them, albeit not rotten but rust free means rust free. The drivers side front wing was in bad shape and definitely needs replacing. Under the front wings there was a substantial amount of surface rust. And the plates for the cage had started to rust quite badly.
Who said i only have £500 to spend? I've got £2500 i could quite easily spend on a shell but i want something decent for that sort of money. I personally think £1500 for that car in the condition with no suspension, wheels, brakes etc is overpriced.
Maybe i'm being fussy about finding one, but i know what a mint car is, and that shell wasn't what i would describe as mint. During the time that i was contemplating buying it, I spoke with Neil (the previous owner) and he said the car is in no way near the condition it was in when he built it.
