I joined a few years back with a load of questions and only posted a few pictures so its about time to give a real update. It was in rough shape when I got it, many parts needed renewing. I could not do a full restoration like I see a lot of you have accomplished, but still managed to do a fair bit to bring it into good working order. There was a lot of rust/corrosion that needed to be ground away underneath that ugly interior and repainted, and pretty much every part connecting up to the engine needed to be rebuilt. As well as new brakes, lines/cylinders and wheels. Louigi is doing a lot better now. Sorry about some of the grainy photos, my camera isn't the greatest.
First day I got it, note the rather sad rims
Previous owners did some interesting things to the interior
Got rid of as much rust as I could, ground it out and repainted, didn't bother to match body paint. Anywhere there was bitumen was very well preserved. Left it alone. I would love to be able to take the whole car apart, but I just don't have the ability.
Put in a new interior.
Pretty much everything in here needed repairing/replacing. I usually found out the hard way.
Still looks a bit dirty sure, but it purrs now, thanks to the advice on here
