got quoted $800 to make new rear gaurds/quarters as these ones are really rotten. so will be saving up for that.

rest of rust and panelbeating i will get my mates old man to do and try a hand at it myself.

also will be remaking exhaust to make it sit higher off the ground as it sits 30mm off road atm

will be geting a full repaint once panels are all sorted, so should be a sweet car once paint and new motor is in it

removed the cut springs and replaced with standard sigma wagon rear springs, fitted perfectly!!

also found that it was diff oil leaking onto the left rear brakes not brake fluid. so now time to investigate even more.
