Hmmm,
in Lenny's book, 'some new bits' equals 'about a quarter of a complete bodyshell'... 8-)

Does the new boot floor have the small pieces right in the back corners, which my MOT fellow seems very keen on prodding and which are a complete pain to get to if they need attention ? ;)

To be honest Ken, the boot floor isn't exactly the best quality thing I've ever bought, and neither are the inner wings. Could have some fun and games making them fit.
On the plus side, the back panel is flippin gorgeous. ;)

I wish I had the bollocks and facilities to do a body rebuild of that magnitude. Good work, and as has already been said, well done for saving something which most folk would have skipped.

Boot floor and rear inner wings are in. That was fun. The inner wings were particularly sh1te. Still got to add seatbelt mounts and the captive nuts for the back seat catches.

And the bumpstops are different. Very entertaining.

Just the back panel and rear sweeps to go.

I bet they don't, more like a quickly refurbished shell. They haven't got the skills to properly assemble a complete shell.
