Thanks, and yeah i looks real bad tbf lol but the subframe is 100% solid, the shell has no rust other than the arches so is actually in good condition even though it looks terrible haha plus it come with a siren that makes animal noises and has a mic input so that alone makes up for rotten arch's

Rat Look!
Looks like it needs a bit of work.
Have a look at my build thread for an idea of how to sort out the arches whilst gaining some extra clearance for tyres.
You say you have tried it in 4wd. Just a heads up. You shouldn't use it in 4wd on any surface that isn't slippy as it will cause transmission wind up.
