this a pretty dodgy mexico and the current owner (trader) was happy to tell me it was near perfect over the phone. so much so that i drove 5 hours to see it.

looks great from 2m away but doesn't appear to me to be a T49 shell, no strengthening in wings, no studs on boot floor etc etc . has over spray on almost every rubber, both front suspension turrets on both sides are smoothed over with filler, filler has started to crack on the bulk head, driver side sill has seen filler and is also cracking, rear driver side wheel arch is almost 15mm thick with filler also.

definite example of someone having rolled a turd in glitter. should be priced 15-20K not 30+

buyer beware!

I can see the stone deflector under the boot I presume it's been welded on then if you can't see the bolts

Imo at 35 k its way over priced

It's annoying when you drive hours to see a car that's shite.

I think we have all been there

Better luck with the next find

[big_mike162]

oh no, the stone deflector is on there and its bolted on but its new drilled holes and the stone deflector is box fresh!

It sounds like you did the right thing walking away

Hopefully the guy offered you your petrol money for wasting your time?

[big_mike162]

no, he was a bellend. telling me if it was perfect it'd be 60K
