Some progress pictures old status Front view Rear view Things are starting to change now The painting stage The car is now Silver and is 99.9 % rust free. No signs of rust coming back for a while at lest anyway. Edited May 18, 2007 by gtnickk Quote
gtnickk Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) The car is almost complete now, i think it looks pretty good. Will get pics later after it stops raining. However i have also decided to fix the interior. The dated brown has to go so i decided to paint the door trims black, make a custom speaker shelf and a custom centre console. so if you have any ideas or comments post them up.
