No problems, if you stumble across a good, solid MY94/95 car for a donor please do let me know. Not fussed if it's a runner or not but emphasis is on shell being solid and dashboard all being complete and in place.

Thanks Tom
Andy did some work on my MK2 and has done some on my current car so am familiar with Dans and have seen the shells on the container. Was hoping for a complete shell really, doors, glass, dashboard etc but can't quite recall what state of completeness those shells were in?

no mate its actually a Skoda dynamic blue but its lovely in person so I went with it as it was what it was originally sprayed with ,, I think he used some panel apoxy or something so it can be sanded and blended in with the roof ,, I did laugh aswell when he sent me the pics of the vents with the wheel on them lol

Are these the vents advertised on eBay? What's the quality like? And do they seal well or does the wind whistle through them?
