Good purchasing!
(didn't even know it was for sale, I'd have been interested myself, ho-hum...)

I like that lots, reminds me of my bro's first car that he stuffed through a hedge and wrote off. Any plans for the engine, only asking cos I want some ideas for a chevette engine upgrade.  |

Like my old one, but better. I notice that it's gained some black window surrounds too!  |

Did a wee bit after work today, it was a nice day up here so I pushed it outside and started to strip it for paint, well a bit anyway. I spend more time looking at it thinking about doing stuff rather than actually doing anything!! ;D glad to say I havent found any major rust yet, just flakey paint...   |

Hehe...yep, the engine, rad and the gearbag were all past they're best!! its had a paint now ( apart from the bonnet cos I'm lazy...) its looking much better. Ive replaced the front screen seal with a new one and Ive got rubber to make a rear.     this was a wee while ago now...done a bit more since then, Ive made a new headlining, retrimmed the door cards, repaired the door seals so its water tight and I rewired it as I had a little fire incident!!!  scott |
