hi all,this is my 120y project ive had since october. the idea was sort the repairs,drop it down on some nice wheels and use it with its slighty ratty look. after a few weeks of work the repairs got bigger,both sills got replaced and rather than blowing in the fresh steel it seam easyer to respray the whole thing. the car came from ebay and had spent over 12 years in a garage and judging from the paint scuffs and dents,must have had a ton of stuff loaded on top of it. with only 35000 miles on it the over all condition is good but previous sill repairs were shocking and i could do nothing but cut the lot off and replace. both front wings have had knock and ive tried my best to source replacements but for now i will just have to fix the originals.engine is good after a head rebuild to stop the stem seals leaking and a carb rebuild. front struts have been converted to coilovers using golf mk1 inserts and 225lb springs and the rear is now decambered capri leaves and lowering blocks using shorter vw caddy shocks. few jobs to finish now and it will be fit for uses as my daily driver.

excellent. that is all.

Indeed, that does look very good. The white gives it a more JDM look.

i should be able to get some more work done on it this week so things will start happening again. i do all the work myself. looking forward to getting it on the road and doing a few shows/meets etc but just for daily driver dutys it will be great fun.
