Seperated the body from the floorpan this weekend, and what can I say.. NO rust!! It was simply a matter of undoing the bolts and lift the body of!

It just came to my mind today: I can paint this car whatever colour I feel like! I think I will go with the mellow "togaweiss" original. Pushed it into the garage and started to take it apart today. Need to make up my mind about what interior to go with.. I will need a red drivers seat..

Still standing there. And now it won't start. I guess the compression is to bad, it turns over very easy. When I bought it I could drive it home, although I barely hit 100km/h it was running fine once warmed up, the seller had driven the car all day just so that it would get me home =) .. But you had to use 2nd gear to 55kmh or so, otherwise it would just bog down as soon as you hit 3rd. Couldn't even be 20HP left in that poor thing..
