So much rust.

[leesredgt]

Naaaaaaaaaaaahh just really surface rust besides the floors and around the widows.

Damn, that's quite an undertaking! How are the insides?

[Razi]

I see holes y0.
Probably gonna have a lot of rotting metal once you dig deeper.

Seems like a big project.

Rusty cars always remind me of JDM Legend's and the good work they do.

Pretty amazing how nicely he shapes and welds in new metal.

Good luck!

Plans?

[nissangirl74]

That's ambitious. : Is it complete?

[leesredgt]

It really isnt that rusty believe it or not. Its mainly surface rust except for around the rear windows, the driver side rocker and the floor pans.

Its complete all the way down to the tool kit and the owners manuel. Its a rear engine,air cooled, 2 cylinder car that's what drew me to it. My plans are as of right now just to get it running and driving again. Go through the brakes and redo the floors. I'm gonna leave the outside like it is for a while.

My old 240's had more rocker rust then this thing lol The biggest problem is the floors. Ill have to custom make my floors up probably just for the mere fact its super hard to find parts for. Either that or modified a VW Beetle pan to work with it.

Cool little car!

Sexy little car. I didn't realize there were any in the US. Car looks complete. For those unfamiliar with them, they were rear engined. Enjoy.

Sounds like it needs a vdub donor car. Also, rust around the windows is one of the worst places. Good luck with that.
