Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

No problem, as soon as i have pictures ill post them!
As you can see there has been a lot of welding and filling especially the offside rear arch which has had to be re-built!
I will try and get a written breakdown off everything that has been done.

Looks great!

But why didn't you remove the windows? It's not that much work and there's Always rust under the seals.
So many cars, so little time
