Got the new hinges for the rear door today, and with the bumpers already off I think I will paint them along with the hinges and boot floor!

I'm a fan of chop the rot too! I see you're no stranger to bodywork?....looking forward to the review of fitting the floor-pan
....the rust converter looks to work well....how long did that take to change?

It's what I do for a living :) the photo of the rust converter was taken 2 minutes after applying it. Put a fan inside the car for the night so it will dry up faster

Didn't get anything done today as the shop is completely full (good thing really). BUT, I bought a Baleno! Going to chop it tomorrow alreay i think, using the engine of course and going to try fitting the seats aswell.

Not thinking of starting the conversion until spring time I think, plenty of time to plan and buy parts!

Not going to weld it, it's bolted with the seats in so just using glue(karosserilim). Its just as strong as any weld :)

Low budget version so some fabrication needed like motor mounts and oil pickup.
