Looks like it has got a single bolt subframe so don't think it is a mk1-2

I saw it up close at Combe and looked at the build pics the owner had, it's a later shell I believe converted to sprint, I didn't ask about the front end but thought it was FG. The hinges on the doors are fabricated alloy ones.

It looked to me like the doors were of pre Mk2-shape.. i.e round corners at the front... But this could ofcourse be modified aswell..

Edit: looking at the rear quarters in this size - I'm pretty certain my intial "guess" was wrong...

Isn't that the japanese one from page 3? Looks very similar (arches etc).
