Ive had her since i was in college back in 1998 (it looked a lot more original then), served me well at the time but hasnt been used much in the last 10 years.
As im in need of a fun run around car ive decided to make a rat rod out of her. Not the low riding type though, more of an off road, big takkie, dune buggy type perfect for our superbly maintained roads and for the occasional off road trip.
So far ive started removing fugly wing mirrors and fendors. The amount of kak that clings to the front suspension componants is crazy.
Pic of the motor, not sure what it was originally, i think it was a 1500cc, the okes that rebuilt it said it is now an 1850 coz they put kombi pistons in.
Plan is to remove engine strip clean and check whats good and whats not. Hopefully with the holidays coming up ill find enough time.
Hoping to get some more time this week to continue stripping the last fender and tackle the copious amounts of bodyfiller and fiberglass thats on the body.
Im a bit of a newb at this so fingers crossed..
Cheers
Andrew
