Ian m8! rust is easy - to slow down!

:D

Most of the car looks ok - boot can be welded - couple of plates here n there - lots of grey stripe sealer and bobs yer aunties live in lover! SORTED!

Yer head lamp housings look ok - I had non but a thin rusted strip! Had to rebuild totally in fibreglass and metal mesh - solid as fcuk now!

good respray smooth the kinks and your there!

Keep the faith my friend you will come good!

i know wotya getting at
the car has alot of memorys for me,some good some bad,and if it change from d77xpt,it wouldnt be my car,
if i re-shelled it,then the numbers aint going to match,and well it wuldnt feel like my car
if im only slowing rust down,then so be it,but it makes me happy for a few years,
and at the end of the day i hardly drive it,since i got the carlton(nicer inside),
2 ppl know why,basical the car belong to my girlfriend,who died.and i alway promised i fix it for her,i dont think i could ever drive it,so it prolbey will never see rain again.
