You can bet your life that it will be some weapon 
and the fastest colour aswell 

Yes it is some machine

The spec is very different to that now and I didn't pay anywhere near that price 

You been in the right place at the right time again Mr.P 
Looking forward to some update on the spec  glad to see your 1st change was that hideous bumper, oh & wheels & brakes

The VWR wheels like you and I have were off it some time ago 

Nice car Steve...lots of pukka bits on that.

Three door, no sunroof, nice and stiff in all aspects.

Correction: The 4 door is actually slightly stiffer (and heavier) because of the reinforced center pillar between the doors.

I belive the 3 door shell is stiffer due to having 2 less door openings.

Wrong and it's nothing to do with the number of doors as they are not part of the stress bearing shell.

Oh, I've also got a degree in Structural Engineering.

So why don't they use more 4 door shells in rallying and motorsport.

Because they are lighter.
