progressing steadily. I've cleaned the rust and painted the inside of the boot.
- Will buy a set of new suspension bushes to put on in about a month.
- At the same time i will put on some astina wheels to push the car around as well as a daily.
- Will send engine off in a month or two to be built.
- Hopefully while its being built i can finally finish dropping in the wiring for the body

wow. so its been a while. finally have something to show.

The boot was getting a bit rusty and had minor scratches on the paint. so i painted the whole boot


Dropped the front and rear sub frame so i can get ready to sand blast and powder coat along with a set of new bushes for the whole car.


I've stopped hoarding parts so this project has started to roll again YAY
