thanks man, looks like ill use that info with the next car because i found some damage in my car from the previous owner's.......
YEP! chassis damage, seems it was in a pretty big smash back in the day and the shop/person that "fixed" it just cut the rail and welded a new one on from the firewall forward, extremely dodgy and i checked my a and c pillar and they have been cut and rewelded so im assuming it was in a pretty big smash where it kinked the roof...
Even though the car is running fantastic im refusing to drive it for mine and other's safety.. so looks like this is the end of the cream vn
oh well all parts will go onto another vn by the looks of it

(trying to think positive lmao)
