Thought you might like it.Its got me thinking of buying another FB with alot of rust in the rear quarter panels so I can get it for next to nothing then buy a wrecker body like that guy did.

So I ended up finding a place for my project and day by day I've been completely stripping the exterior and interior and as of this morning, this is the main rust I've got. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Holy **** thats alot of rust.I see you have the SE brakes on it.I love 4x114 pattern wheel options.You might want to consider what that guy did on that website I posted in here and find a FB that go in a front end collision.Poor car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Yeah, that would probably be a good option. They're pretty hard to find though (bit like trying to find rocking-horse **** https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ). I'll try and cut most of it out myself, its going to be a mission. Mig welding and bog.

I hope it turns out good.They are fun little cars to drive.

love the idea of the subs in the storage boxes, always wanted to do that, just a little differently.

your rust isnt that bad, the rear panel is cheap new, and i'm sure you can find a sunroof section in a junkyard. hmm your car is a lot different from our (usa) 84-85's. our cars get no headlight washers at all, they usually come with a 12a carby, and the s2 breaks and wheels, unless you get the gsl-se which has the 6 port 13b and the same suspension and wheels you have

Intresting, any rust on the inside of the rear wheel arches? Look like you have a lot of body work ahead of you. Have fun.
