I'm gonna be goin down there in the next couple of weeks to get myself a set of mint standard arches, so i'm gonna be pickin the best ones of those 3 corsas. I'll get back to u on what state the remaining ones are like, but as far as i can remember, there was a full set of 4 mint, and another 2 mint rears, and 2 mint fronts.
