Project Not Quite So Rusty, My Dads Saff 10/08/05.
Right stupid I know but ive started another little project, this one is not going to be as big as my S1 (i hope
)
Anyway here it is:







Not bad for £1900
Well it needs a few bits sorting out on it, the engine and running gear seem to be fine, even though the car has done 190k miles
The bodywork needs some sorting, ive got him 2 new front doors for it as the old ones are starting to rot out and its got a couple of little rust holes on one of the sills, its aslo got a big dent in the rear panel and the longer you spend looking at it you can pick fault with the paint on every panel, so it looks like a full respray is on the cards!!
Will post pics of the progress and hopefully it wont be long untill she is back on the road

Right still working hard on the old girl, the backend is all back together and the O/S has all been painted and put back together too, here are some pics:

The rear bumper is back on and looking sweet.

After spending a few hours polishing/masking and painting the boot badge looks as good as new.

Still a lot more work left to do.
