a few? a few? not to rain on your parade but that looks pretty bad. I mean nothing is unfixable, but i still think you'd be much better off, if you just saved another 100-200 eur and got a better one.. looks like you've got your work cut out for the next half year or so. After you're done with this, you might as well start your own welding company Big Grin

good luck!

This is from yesterday.

Haven't done much of a job today,haven't had time.

Shortly,removed the rear bumper and the tow hook finally Big Grin
There was a few problems with the hook,as usually rusty screws and hard reachable.
After that,i disconnected rear lights.

Started removing the front ligths and fenders,but screws were very very rusty,so i put some WD40 on it and had a sleep Big Grin. Detached the fender screws that went down well.And yes,detached some badly done DIY net over the cooler that was also fitten with lousy and rusty screws.

Woke up at 9AM and started to do some work. Big Grin

Ordered new front fenders at the local parts shop,for C2 line(blinkers next to the lights) since they don't have C1 type.

Went home,turned the car around,and detached the hood and engine mount,mounted the lifter and pulled the engine little up.
Detached the motor starter that is not working.
We made a direct connection starter > battery and it didn't work.I took a visit to my friend who knows car electics,since my grandfather,also auto electrician is now for nothing(he is 83 year old).

I think you need to locate just about every panel there is for this car and just weld together a new oneBig Grin

Everything can be fixed eventually! Wink
If you have weldingskills or know a person close by who has those skills the car may still be fixed economical, however I think a lot of us get scared by rust because they don't have someone close by with those skills and depend on professional welders to fix such rust and from experience I know that's very costly.
