Thanks Nige - I had asked him a question on his for sale thread on here. Think I’ll PM him. I wasn’t sure why it was being advertised as a post 74 wing when it’s got the early light fittings, but looking at the pictures more carefully I can see it’s been backdated - which I’m fine with by the way.

Just need to be sure on the corrosion side of things. I’ll PM him

Who cares - this is my thread :lol:

Not too bad - because I braked so hard I went underneath - the marks on my bonnet are from his exhaust. Because I dipped so low he had no damage to the main body or engine lid - so it’s rear overriders, rear bumper and exhaust (I think). I think his repairs are going to be done shortly

Yes, defo backdated on a closer look. You would also need to weld up the indicator hole. Still £200 sounds better than £1200

Cool, so long you're still BFFs.
