Just for you - suspect the arch filler is where they removed the stainless trims

Lets be honest - theres some ropey repairs in there that need re doing.....

But for me its a case of cost vs practicality

Inner wings are £500 each, same as doors, wings £250 each, floorpans £200...... Certainly not cheap bits....


Cars are only worth £5-6k in superb condition...

Whilst i could spend £££££s on brand new bits and rebuild it all, im not going to, im going to tidy up the inner wings, the floor and then have the car re skimmed and painted....

It will never practically be perfect in my budget, however, it will be a nice presentable usable car...

Built by me, for me.... So aslong as im happy then thats that... If skimming a whole car is good enough for chip foose, rawlings and just about every other hot rodder then its good for me tbh

I think everyone gets too caught up in making a car look like brand new, its from watching tv shows where they totally rebuild a car.

In the real world if you want to use and not just take photos of shiny areas that no one ever see's then there is no point going mad.

Same theory on corrado, i want it tidy and rust free, but not bothered about slightly mismatched paint that you have to have a torch and put your head right up to it to notice.

I want the outside and bay/visable paint to look nice, it will be stonechip black underneath and the axle ect will be powdered for rust proofing purposes, no new panels bought just a good tidy and a home brew cage/bodywork

I will try my best to make it decent but ultimately its for using
