So if that purple was the start of modifications to banger-race it, why wasn't it completed? I know it runs and drives, and was even MoT'd until recently: we will never know.

Does it drives backwards though? ha ha

You're right it structurally sound. Though I would be careful about the amount of filler used where the rear sill end meets the arches. I had new arches and sills put in about 2014 and I'm fairly sure he did a **** job of that area - plating over rotten panels (not the sills or arches of course)

I can tell you any more stuff you need to know
