Few reasons, little niggly bits that pissed me off spent a bit of time on the new shell today stripped and spot drilled all the seat mounting brackets off engine out in the week ready to stitch weld the engine bay on the weekend
just waiting on getting the escort off the spit so I can get mine on there to do the underside
