as soon as you take that kit off your going to have to replace everything!!

Thats what killed my one.

 8O From what I can see (which isn't much to be fair) it al looks pretty solid, the arch lip is all in one piece, bottom of front pannel looks good and underside of sils are good so hopefully it will be ok. The car has only done 15k since the work was done originally but that was 10 years ago (depends how good the rears were then!!) . Front wings are fakes, so will be looking for some genuine ones. But I hope that the rear quarters are ok. Fingers crosssed eh!

on the other hand with it smoothed like that you might not be able to get it off
without butchering it.
then you wont have a choice.

KIT IS NOW OFF .. and I didn't feck anything, and the only rust is on the front wing, which is the bit I could see and already knew about!!

Check out the updates on my build thread for pics etc.

my old car. keep kit, dont blend.

Ah,Mr Funk-Star..It was you that bought Roy Craig's car..

I almost bought Bought that car too, but didn't realise it was the same one

Are you getting the whole car painted?

Yeah, looking to send it to the Paintshop soon. If I can I may try and get away with not redoing round the windscreen the boot hatch and the roof as the paint real good there but depends on how well they get the colour match..
