Good job! Everything looks good and you really can't tell it was banged up. I hope you get many more years out of it. As long as it don't rust out, it's always worth fixing up than buying a new car.

The bonnet is a little warped around the headlamps still, you can tell if you look close. From a distance you can't though. I'm pretty happy. I can do a lot of my own repairs but I've never really done any body work before.

She is starting to look a little crusty in a few places underneath.







I'm considering getting it over my pit, taking off the rust with a wire wheel and either painting it with that hammerite over rust paint or putting that POR-15 stuff 3M make on it. Rust is the main thing I'm worried about. Although if i think anything finally condemns the car it will be probably in the front unibody somewhere between the radiator frame an the engine mounts or up by the shock absorber mount.

One of the main reasons i like this car is there is less to go wrong with it than a newer one.
