But as stated you are better off buying a shell and going from there cos that is a s hitload of rust iam getting it fixed for free from a mate who works at a shop called Shipstone Accident Repair Specialists they fix ferrair,porches there and other cars etc and the shop is in Lutwyche, QLD is that enough information or do u want his name too? or his number ? if u dont believe me? The quote was for to see how much it would cost to get it fixed by other beaters, because im gettin it done FREE so i was seeing how much im saving! i can get boot pan for $200 of rare spares and spare wheel well for $80 and back window bottom crossmember for $120 = around 400 thne just weld in and put new carpet and walls in boot set up for system
