Not a clue but should be quite a bit less than original, I cut a lot of metal out! All door internals seats etc gone. A bit more welding done
Can't decide if I like the angles or not?????

I'm sure with a uniform finish they'll look pretty damn cool!

Got loads done over the last few days and nearly blew up the workshop in the process!
A bit of advice for anyone who still has a pit that's covered up don't spill petrol in it then forget about it a few days later and then start welding above it! A very nice bang with enough force to lift the car off the floor

Might be putting it up for sale soon as could do with money for my new project. Not sure what it would be worth really. All the welding will be done and cab will be water tight. Possibly needs SVA or what ever they call it now! I just told my insurance company that it was a VW bora modified into a pick up, they just added a note on file to say it's a pick up but I do have a traders policy  :grin:

Maybe so...but you seem to be giving up before you're finished ...where's the fun in that?

Never said I was giving up just contemplating what to do and if it's worth me putting anymore money into it or get out when I can break even.
I'm no body shop tech and defo havnt got the patience for all the filler work so mite be a good point in the build now to sell to somebody in the paint trade.
Got all the mot advisories done today.
New front lower arms
New rear axle bushes
New coil Spring

Anyone got advice on the SVA test or small car company build?

Keep up the good work! Stay with it and could be a good opportunity to learn how to throw the filler down?
Or go rustic, strip all the paint off and clear lacquer it?.... I've been watching too many chop shop style shows on Quest! :-D
