So, I went and got some paint and painting supplies yesterday, I finally decided on a colour!. It's going to be a long project!. My husband has unbolted the floor, ready for a new floor pan and He said the heater channels are near perfect, so far so good!.
I'm keeping everything I standard, as much as my friends want me to put a WRX motor in it :-/ (eeek!)
We've also gone right over the car and converted all the rust ( big job!). She's been stripped of all chrome strips and windows etc, getting things ready for painting. Finally feels like we're getting somewhere with it :-)

lol and what a time it was to get the right one too lol... it's along story... the first one we looked at was a super bug snot green and had bog cracking thru the roof and in one of the doors and got told that it was the bog that was put on from the factory..gave me a good laugh then a few days later we found out about the white one we have went and had a look was all good.. but there was one one we needed to look at that sounded the same that would end up cheaper.. and what a day that turned out to be. got told there was only surface rust in the car.. HAHAHAHAHAHA.. drove 2 hours with a trailer got there touched the heater channels and they just crumbled away and the floor was stuffed it moved up and down when you touched it. and all the lady said was i should of checked the car before i e-mailed you.. so drove home with an empty trailer and got in touch with with the peeps that owned the white one (members from here) and got that one home... that night cause i only had a car and trailer for a limited time haven't done tooo much too it have got most of the surface rust off the car got the windows out and the car parted form the chassis heater channels are perfect it's got some small rust holes in the car that are gonna be an easy fix sand needs a quarter or the floor replacing but other that that it's a great base to start the project gonna be a complete rebuild i think but will be worth it.. anyhow enough of my bad grammar and punctuation. here's some pics!
