Hi Filipe,

Man you got your work cut out for you, why in heavens name buy a car with such a rusty body? You really need to start taking it appart, get it sandblasted, coated, and start welding new parts in. Welding BIG parts in.

I would only take up such a project if I knew how to weld myself or knew someone who wouldn't mind doing all that work for me. It is very gratifying once you complete such work though. Hows the underside of the car?

One big piece of advise to you. Start taking the car appart. I don't know if you have much room to store things but that is the first thing you should do. Start stripping the interiour bare first. Then the front side fenders, if you think its needed, take the engine out. I say this for 3 reasons:
1) it doesn't cost money, just time
2) you get to know your car inside out
3) it will start revealing any damage to your car that was hidden before.
Don't make the same mistake I made with my RX7, put all screws and bolt into containers and label them I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out what goes where with my RX7

Looking at the body from the pictures, I think you'd do smart to take it appart to its very last bolt so you can bring it to a sandblaster.

Good luck on your project, you came to the right place for information
