    mate in the exact same position. my advice, cool your heels. youll find a shell

    I have an HX that dosnt NEED a shell but its windowed which i dont like. It took me 6 months but i located a licensed driving windowless HZ 253 trimatic for 2 large ones. Its not rust free but its miles better than the HX.

    the roof looks pretty knackered on yours. Id definately wait it out and start with a better product. No point in tipping big biccies into a bucket of rust

    Why dont you post some pictures of the plates from the vehicle and pictures of the number for someone to see... might make it easier?

    easy to do just use the piccy icon at the top of the reply.

    Hey mate, sorry this one slipped through.

    Are the markings on the back of the carpet or on the body? Can you provide a photo, it might help by jogging someone's memory... or you have found something that has not been found by others???
