Rebuild of my Spider
Hi
After 2 years, I finally got time to start the rebuild of my '85 Corsa Spider.
The front is ok, just some little rust

The rear arches are rusty, so I decided to fit complete panels and also replace the rear panel

someone already "tried" to repair the holes in the trunk, but it was that bad, that I had to cut out the complete corners

Nice one Steve, looks like you have a big project on you hands there.

Looks like a fair bit of work there but its worth doing for a convertable.
Have you got any pics of it before it was stripped?

A bare metal strip down... good going mate.
Its a lot less rusty than i expected.

good luck with the work, will be well worth it!!!!

Nice seeing one more spider comming up again.
Less work to do than most Spiders I've seen before.
