Mostly. Wants some headlight mounts and a front panel and paint.

I wont know for sure till I collect it and then I can start listing things for sale but I’d like it to go as a job lot/compete project with everything I own for it.

Hope youre well Alyn x

Since I'm speechless after reading through this entire thread all I can say is that I'm really sad to see this project come to an end. Wasn't expecting the story to reach this point but I guess life is what happens while you're making plans.

You're truly an inspiration. Thank you!

The project is starting to be sold off. The shell is live on eBay now.
Go bid for a bargain and a bit of SN history.

So,

The last main part of the car was collected today, and that leaves me with a few odds and ends left of what was an amazing chapter in my life.
Many of my life long friends have been made through the ownership of this car and continue to remain friends to this day. The memories far outweigh the sum of its parts and i have to say I owe it, far more than it will ever owe me.
Purchased at 21 years old, it was a 3 year old car that was standard from top to bottom. I'm 37 this year and its been one hell of a journey.

This thread alone has had almost 710,000 views, and i wanted to say thanks to every single one of you who has followed my journey along the way. I've really appreciated it.

I thought id leave you with some images of it in its hey day as they say.

Thanks for the support,

Frayz x

You know my feelings on this mate, a shame you didn’t get the opportunity to see it through but on the flip side your exhaust along with a couple of other bits will live on
