it’s not chopped or got any hideous repair , from what I remember the Bodyshop used second hand parts which the insured then refused & it got messy , so the insurance company wrote it off but there will be no licensing of it unless Q plates still exist, but that’s not for me .
I had a cage , harness & swirl pot fitted & used it for drifting tuition.
Chassis number is untouched & still present but not recognised at DVLA.
Whilst it was all running nicely when I parked it up 5 years ago , It will no doubt need engine work etc for any sort of competition use or for use in another car, however rest of mechanicals including turbos & pipework etc are all untouched , floor pans are corroded but repairable , Alicantra trim is good & it’s sold as spares or competition rebuild.”
