    Went to the supermarket while I waited for traffic to die down a bit. Second supermarket car park of the evening. Terrible pic, it was getting dark The drive home was uneventful. L

    Wento for a quick trip to the petrol station. Got sidetracked. I am loving this car! It sounds like it's gargling on the fuel not just drinking it, what an awesome sound!

    They pointed out that the majority of the rust is towards the rear where previous repairs have been done.
    Then again maybe it was half under a carport or something for a while.
    They are still assuring me it will be with me by Christmas.

    Do you ever worry that you will forget how it all goes back together again :D

     

    One day you will have to start a new thread with a mega first post showing the whole process (with pictures) in one huge orgy of Rust to Redemption :)

    Wow that's in amazing condition. Best photography I've seen on a car ad in a long time. Lot of money though.

    Tauranga is where mine got its bodywork rust, sitting in someone's garden.

    One week to bodyshop "deadline"

    Cool!

    • Author

    Okay the deadline is no more. They're started on the rusty A pillar and it's apparently a mess. so it will not be done by next week. They're going to send pics.

    Oh bugger. Santa will have to bring you something else instead... Baby Kiwi or extra Dog chews?

    Rebuild of that rear corner has begun.

    I dunno if they're still available, but I'm getting this feeling that it might have been easier to buy a complete "body in white"?

    Parts are available from Germany but the cost is high. 2500 Euro for a rear quarter, 2000 for a roof, a pillars 250 ish etc. Then add large item shipping to NZ.

    Then they would need some modification to fit.

    A "body in white" is a complete shell less closures and bumpers, in primer or undercoat. So in your case all the steelwork including arch extensions except doors, bonnet and boot lid.

    Ah right, didn't know that term. I doubt they're available for a car that stopped production in 1991. And would it still be the same car then? :)

    Plus I suspect cost would be prohibitive in NZ.

    I only realised that you didn't know the term when you started talking about repair panels. As to shipping costs, it would fit in a 20' ISO box, and Bossfox probably has a clearer handle on costs for shipping one of those "slow" time than anyone else we know.
