this one will be a long running one.
will take up my free time, and most of my cash.
immediate plans are, strip it all down
clean underside, dont know weather to treat and waxoil it, or have it painted,
grind off anything i dont need,
re-paint interior, and sort out the dash, controls and loom.

you saying in regards to what will happen to it?
suspension is shot i reckon very wallowy,
handbrake only works on 1 wheel and is on 12 clicks
bumper is damaged
wing and bonnet has damage
suspension topmounts have started to go
rear arches have started to go
sunroof wont open
boot wont shut right
central locking is random as you like
the thin dash panel by the screen is cracked in 2 places
most of the interior rattles and creaks
and that just from what i know of in the last 3 hours ive owned it
oh and the abs is random

just fire the c20xe in asap and track the fucker
then sort out bits n bobs.... get it useable before perfect.... too many folk spend too long trying to make cars something they will never be and never use the bloody things
take a couple of hours to weld in chassis plates i gave you, the just give the bay a good once over, and blast with white paint.
Pop the c20xe and F20 in and away you go.
Brakes off the calibra too
sort susp issues after you have had a chance to see what its like...
