Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

[Ivan141]

The exhaust is at least 2 years old by now.. it's not supposed to be all rusty by now.

It's a pity that the same cant be said of my rear panels. I'm planning to take both upper and lower rear panel out so I can get to the boot floor better. That way everything can be welded with good access, and all seams will be cleaned. Hope to be putting in new rear panels if I find them.
Looking at my car, the hachi's biggest downfall seem to be all the chassis seams, where panels are spotwelded to eachother. The rot nearly always starts from those places, and they are mighty difficult to fix because there are tons of other panels overlapping them in places.

@Robo: Do you have some contact info on that guy that might have those rear panels I need? I'm pretty sure he already sold 'em, but it's still better than importing the damn things from japan.

@Apolan: I still have an engine in the shed over here that I need to rebuild (using 60 dollar USDM low comp. pistons). Since I cant overbore it myself I'll be sending it to a shop anyways so I'll have them clean it.. I hate cleaning work :wink:
