well the story
i got the car on the 23rd of march it was very neat and tidy we went right through it no rust the drivers side pillar has a fair dent in it and the
front clip is pretty screwed but for how old the car is it is in v/good condition we drove it home with a permit when i got it home i stripped the
trailer lights (indercaters) and bumper bars left it for a while then a week later i ripped the carpet up inside and seen the floorpan was nearly
perfect but it looked a little shabby so i painted it but didnt like it so over the next 2 days i removed the motor then the body and then the box i
went and bought 4 litres of degreaser and started to do the top half and then i blasted it with a gurney came up alright but today im going to tip the
car up and give the underneath a good clean than paint the bugger i am also going to get drop spindles and a wide 5 disc brake kit for the front end a
1600 box for the rear with steel side plates and a 1600 tp with a mild cam and twin kads and as for the body im going to paint it battle ship gery
with white brms the interior is going to be stock and that is in very good condition with a 5 in tacho which i just bought and a gtv wheel and heres
another pic of the pan without the box
