Thought it might be time to start a garage build thread.

UPDATING WITH A LINK TO MY PHOTOBUCKET SITE
over 500 pics of rust repairs and paint jobs etc

this is a wee gem that a mate bought for $800, I cut some rust out of the bottom of the doors and tidy,d up some of the body work, we rolled it into the shop around 9.30 this morning, and gave it a quick spray, the car was really quite mint, so required minimum prep,
Thanks goes out to Blair for supplying a tidy front guard.
And a huge thank-you to Chris for giving me a hand to re-organise the layout to make it easyr to fit the jobs in.

yeah the coupe is a mint little car, if simon hadnt bought it I would have, the bonus is it has all black interior, the colour is bright red, looks a little orange in the pics, but really pops in the sun, Its coming on the akaroa cruise this year.

nice coupe. I have 77 here in Canada its B210 with 80hp A14. what is this model called in their? knowing the different names for the same car may help me source parts from other parts of the world. Think there is only a few dozen of these left in all of Canada, most have rusted away from the winter weather.
