I bought this original stocker yesterday 14/02/2007 for $700AUS. Im going to keep all my updates on this page for anyone interested to follow. Im not going to rush it, i want it to be a quality job. I will be doing as much as possible of the work myself also.
Basically what im going to concentrate on first is the body work/paint. Of course i will be cutting out all rust first
I havnt thought too far ahead as yet, all i no is it will be white again, maybe with a pearl??? Can anyone shed some light on pearls, are they in the top coat clear or base colour and how difficult compared to normal acrylic???
Anyway heres the before pics, any opinions or input welcome!
The rear bumper is bent in but not too bad
The left hand side is fairly straight!
Small amount of rear left quarter rust about the size of a 50c peice, other side is rust free
The sill is buggered towards the rear, lucky i got a new sill left somewere in the shed, also the door is bubbling at the bottom
Rear right damage, more bendige than rust only a couple of holes
View with door open
Interior perfect except carpet, dash oh and door locks!
Front view
Outside front view
There is no rust in the corners which was the main thing that would put me off as i no how damn hard it is to repair properally
Otherside
Original engine still, seems to run fine
The bad and the ugly, boot lip rust, going to chop whole section out and use my donor car for section
Small rear dent least the lights ok
Thats it for now, ill get stuck into it on the weekend and post results
