No, I restored the floorpan previously ....and narrowed the front beam ..



yes (very extreme welding ....most people would have scrapped it )

I'm liking the rag mate, very
I would love to fit one from a polo air, fully electric then, and you can normally pick the full kit up from a scrappy for about £150.

Got no restoring to do as such...
Not till it gets fully overhauled

just so no one thinks i've been being lazy ,.....here's another up date

the bonnet has been shot blasted and put in etch primer ,the holes and splits have been welded up ...but needs some filler , the engine lid has been welded and filled , just needs the inside DA'd and put in primer ...the whole shell is in its second coat of primer and needs sanding with 800 grit ...and one door is at the same stage as the shell and the tank has been powdercoated ,but needs pep sealing

looking good mate, deffo got past the worst of it.
