Figure I'd start my own thread, so I can add pics, ask questions and show you guys what I'm up too and what I'm doing.
The plan:
Havn't got any long term plan. First off is just go over the car and neaten everything up, get rid of the rust and make it look decent. Pretty major service is on the list too.
Making it look decent atm includes a respray and chrome bumpers. The rest I'll figure out as I go along.
I'm planing on spraying at the end of Jan, and hopefully roadied and reg'd by late feb/march. I'm leaving myself a bit more time to both prep and spray this time, hopefully for the benefit of the end product.
I'll also whack my GTI brakes and exhaust off my old car, aswell as a few other bits and bobs I've got laying around.
Then I'll daily it, putt around and fix other stuff as I go. Plenty of crusing too! Might play around with bio diesel once it's up and going too.
Car details:
79 GLD 4 door. 1.5 Diesel & 4 speed. ~180,000 kms showing on the speedo. Been off the road for about 1 year. body is reasonably straight, no major dings/prangs. Plenty of rust spots here and there, nothing too major. Luckily clean floors and A pillars! Interior is in decent nicks. Seats are good, carpets faded and worn, dash cracked, but has a dash mat.
on with the pics!
It's not much to look at at the moment, but give it time
And todays work, checking the floors and tidying/cleaning the interior.
