Lots of people giving him shit for using a different shell. All rather academic when you consider that not much is untouched anyway, interior/dash were replaced, other panels etc.

It's just built from the best bits which were available.

That is kind of my plan for the GSi although obviously I've not as much heritage in the shell. But it'll have a Sport loom, SXi steering, probably some later plastics etc.

I couldn't care less that it's not strictly 100% original - it's mint, and the attention to detail is damn impressive.

he didnt use the brown one , he used the sport shell


nothing to find out IMO...surely it's illegal to do it, so keep schtum i understand the DVLA just love slapping Q plates on carsYeah, probably the less said the better

I will be using the Nova sport shell BTW, I will just be replacing the doors, bonnet, tailgate, roof skin, front and rear subframes etc with spares from the brown shell... nowt wrong with that!!
