The old boyfriend was a spray painter and did the rust and paint around 1995. the inside of the drivers door was left on purpose.
I waited 5-6 years for that car. and the only reason i ended up with it was my sisters father in law did all the maintenance on it.
It had to go to someone that would appreciate it and looked after it. It's in safer hands now. so i thought[:x)]
Don't be surprised if you find rust around the rear screen.
You know who to call when you get sick of it.
Please!
I miss driving it.
Is that the man himself Mark ?
Is this pic when you took possession of the car, she looks very shiny ?
That is a sad story about his daughter, It must have been hard for him to sell it.
What was the purpose for leaving the inside drivers door ?
Yes it is in safe hands now [:x)]
I have removed the broken rear screen yesterday as I found a replacement item and sourced a new rubber and locking strip too.
There was no rust around the edge of rear windscreen hole at all. Happy about that
When we replaced the front screen there was a little bit up on the top of passengers side, but nothing major, the O'Briens guys fixed it before the installation.
She is like another child and wont be ever getting sick of it, so I couldn't sell it.
I love driving it !
