reg mark on the car may be howking the price up tho.

Its a thought, but for the thick end of five grand you could get a really good "ED" plate.

what?

for 8 grand id expect it to be a running driving finished car.............

the chop around the front looks utter shit as well, look at the way the bonnet doesn't fit and the wings have been chopped wrong into the front panel so they all bulge out - I suspect the headlamp rings will hit the indicators as well as too much has been removed

yuk!

Yup, totally wrong round the front end. This is probably why it is being sold as a project. Something has gone wrong somewhere.
