I'll try to get some pics tomorrow. I know that the sills and front wings are good, inner wings good, front valance is ok. What I've seen of the floors look ok, but would need to take the carpet out completely to confirm. The only major areas in need of repair IIRC is a hole where the front scuttle panel meets the windscreen surround. A smaller hole located further along the windscreen surround and the rear valence panel is badly corroded on the underside, which could be tough to get a pic of but I'll try.
Tim.

Managed to get some pics this morning.....
Opposite side is similar condition but car is too close to wall to take pic.
N/s front wing, you can see the scuttle corrosion but I've put a close up shot in later on.
All good stuff there... now the not so good.
This is lower windscreen corner drivers side.
Lower windscreen passenger side.
The car was fitted with a non standard engine and gearbox and they cut out this piece of the tunnel to get a fit. Easy fix with a similar piece cut from the donor car I'm thinking.
A couple of holes in the floor passenger side. one is drilled the other I'm not sure about as the metal is good but is a hole all the same.
Took the carpets out completely for a better look and this is the drivers side foot well with the usual thin metal complete with a couple of small holes. The flash has made them hard to see but they are there.
The rear end is too close up to the wall to get in with the camera but the rear valence is definitely shot, but the good news is that the undersides of the rear wings appear to be sound.

Other things I need to mention are I checked both the A & B pillars on both sides and they are in good order but although the front valance panel looks sound, I suspect it might have been repaired at some time in the past as it looks slightly different to the one on my project car.
For the basic shell stripped of all fittings, although I'll probably leave the windows in cos I've got a spare full set of glass and they're b******s to remove, I'll take £500. Like I said earlier, if extras are needed we can sort it on collection. Car is in storage in Burnley, Lancashire.

Just one other thing I forgot to mention is that the battery stand, although sound, has been cut to accommodate the engine. Could probably get away with it as is, but don't want anyone to think I'm not being transparent with the description. If it's intended to rebuild to show condition then you would probably want to replace it with the one in the donor car.
The battery was still on it when I bought the car so is good to run with.

Just giving this a 'bump' in case anyone is thinking of bidding on the one on ebay right now.

Oooops!
Fallen off completely now!
Don't think it's 'for sale' any more!
