Looks like its had a front end smash and the holes are to pull the body back into line.

surely there would be crease marks in the metal though? even if it was pulled out, it'd still be visible...

It might not be staying white

Was thinking of having it carabic blue, but keep the engine bay & inside all white + white rollcage

Would look quite slaggish I think

SXI, SRI, sport

Basically the base models had clear glass. Unless you paid £110 for it as an optional extra

and vegas's but then again Matt it may have been a option at vaux on the Vegas as mine has it and think mists and Phils do too

It was a £110 extra when you bought the car.

i wouldnt say it accident damage altho loos likely. is the surface around these holes true??? if so id say its not previous damage.scrap it n see if its been filled??? if it has it will usually be very rought in there plus no metal worker would leave those holes without welding them up altho there woudl never be a need to drill those holes there to pull the car. doesnt makes sense. r the holes bulging out looking as if its been pulled with a slide hammer???

i would pretty much 100% say that the holes are there from the leg being pulled out! you may not see any creases as it also looks like they have put a new outer skin of th leg on, tbh it will be fine aslong as it was done well and if the bothered to put a new outer skin on it would of been!

cool project aswell!

i agree to a certain extent altho there would be no reason to do that to pull that out. its not a leg btw its a flitch panel. pull it out = clamp on flitch panel.
