Very tempting. Build the most rust free UK Monaro or the basis for a nice dragster. Item number 232043601711. Maybe I should sell that old black roller that's cluttering up my driveway and buy this to replace it...

I was offered it a few weeks back but got plenty of immaculate undamaged ones

You still got that old black nail you got tucked up with

The shell has a Vin in it so it could become messy trying to re shell etc

Hopefully - turning it into track fodder would be a travesty in my opinion!

Are you re-shelling or building from scratch?

I guess, largely by necessity, somewhere in between the two - most of the bits will probably indeed all come from one car. However I'd like to do certain things better than the factory by using stainless hardware where appropriate, cunifer brake lines and braided lines where appropriate. Since it's from scratch I can just start with niceties like a better than stock PAS cooler etc etc. We will see! I may end up truly earning my username.
