  Would be nice when finished but WAY overpriced for a project. Sellers name hardly inspires confidence either!!! :o

I had one of those, same colour as well! superb for wheel spinning away from the lights (Iwas 19) but it was rotten as a pear and smelt like a mushroom farm inside due to the leaky windscreen :( The seller must be on drugs, a mint one isnt worth that, and he probably paid fifty quid for it to some poor sap >:(
