Not too rusty?!
Dear All,
Is this really so difficult to start off this crap AE86 to build up the hobby of car restoration? |

I guess ppl wondering "is it really that hard?" haven't tried something similar before.
I did, and i would never even think off repairing car that is rusty as this one. NHF. |

Before I make the decision, I have to gether more information...
For the rear quarter panel, can I use 2dr coupe panel to replace the rust part? I guess it will be easier to use the 2dr panel to fabricate one for the 3dr...because it is very difficult to get one 3dr panel unless you buy a whole body... |

Since this is the part where the two body shapes differ I would think that they don't mix.
About the restoration. It will take a lot of time to fix this up. I used 3 years on and off on mine. I think you just need to remember one thing as you mention yourself. It's a hobby. Once it becomes a duty its no fun any more. And remember, you can't put a price on a hobby ;-) So just go for it.

Have good look on Ivan141's thread and see how much work he had in fixing his car! And his AE86 was one which looked pretty good bodywise, so it 'only' rotted in the normal rustspots, this one is rusty at places a normal road legal AE86 won't rust easily and therefore will be rusty at the standard area's as well.
