Yeah, i saw this car when i picked up mine, was next door to it..., tis got quite some rust... Hehe...
Definitely take the body off the pan, cause there will be cancer hiding between... + it makes things easier to access...
U might have some trouble taking off the body bolts though, cause probably be all rusted out..., but wd40 should loosen them up a bit...
If a bolt breaks, or snapps through... don't worry, just means u got rust there hehe... and if a bolt breaks just drill through it.
pan or body ay?
Either way it works.... but if u go pan first... u can drive that around when its all fixed... while ur busy fixing up the body...
Be a bit more fun and keep up the motivation i guess... Either way though... :thumb:beer
