Mines destined to be a daily drive, not overly fussed about bodywork being immaculate as long as the sills are the correct narrow ones and the welding is neat.

If you are repacing the whole load floor area, can you save me the front bit to replace the bit of mine where someone has fitted a rear seat to mine?
