deeveus 81 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Ok so car is fully legal now. Originally failed a wof on rust, lights and more rust but all sorted now. Have ordered the paint (hellrot of course) I've bought the other EXA the guy had as it's got a compete set of parts like lenses windows e.c.t. And it's a manual. I'm hoping at some stage to convert it to manual as the auto box is just a pig. I'm hoping this will be straight forward! Picture of rust removal. Will post pics when it's entirely panel & painted and rims done. Edited September 1, 2014 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Another Exa? You've gone mad. This ones rusted to f**k but has only 140kms and has a full set of parts. Hoping it will be the donor for a manual conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Ok so almost 100% done. I ended up doing it myself and whilst I made a hash of it in places it has improved, quoted $2500 for a cash job to do it, I done the whole lot myself for under a grand including buying a compressor and spray gear. It's still one ugly looking bitch but even the wife said it looks a little more respectable. Wheel alignment and new chrome wheel nuts on yesterday and decals put on a few days back. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
