i think of my wifes old man who did up a customline in 1980 and a 29 chev at around mid 80's. when he did the 29 chev, it was about the same age then as our fe's etc now and the customline in 1980 was no nearly as old! so we must expect what we see, time is getting on and these are very old cars now!

The rust in the front spring hanger seem consistant with a lot of Utes I have seen,, sedans don;t seem to suffer rust in this spot so donor panels are easy to get ......FC427.....

Good tip FC427. Thanks.
The rust doesn't really bother me. Just may take a bit longer. Could be worse. The Wagon on at the moment is a case in point.
Regards
Wayne

I think you will have a fair amount of work around the shock mounts but they were pretty flogged out by the look of them and floor section but i have seen a lot worse.

I have just about settled on a colour Scheme. It was chosen on the basis that the colour was available on or about my utes 50th. I think time for an upgrade. The trim will be a dark blue . Here is how it looks on the current model.  are you going to keep her stock or what?
Regards Wayne
Wayne I am not going stock. Keeping the engine at this stage. Celica box is in the shed. Buckets seats etc. Excluding buckets seats trying to maintain the look and feel. |

Nice work Wayne,they look great when they come back from the sand blasters until you get up close...I believe it's the only way to go (next to dipping of course).Makes the rust more obvious but at least then you know what your dealing with. |
