Hey all figured I may as well put up a wee progress report and keep you all abreast of how things are goin.
Ok well first up, purchased a 1979 MS85 4 door. auto, ugly colour etc
started cutting out the rust etc..... amazing how much rust was hidden under the bog. Fortunately it all seems to be in easy enough to reach spots (bottom of doors, a bit round the trim etc. so hope to have it all cut out in a couple of weeks. then onto the filling and painting excercise.
heres a few "before" pics (well with a bit of rust out and some black primer patches) will keep updating the pics.
Plan is for a comfortable cruiser. Probably Matt black for ease of application in the first instance.. then possibly gloss black with a hint of bronze for that "cola" sort of colour. low, tints and wheels
any info on the easiest way to lower this, plus wheel offsets etc greatly appreciated. Am doin this on a serious(ly low) budget so doin most of the work myself (poor wee crown)
it also has some fairly serious interior work to be done as the seats are all shagged, no carpet, dash currently in the boot etc. so wish me luck
