today's progress... The chassis was pretty rotten... so a couple hours condensed into a few (blurry cell phone) pictures...

1.5mm mild steel is HARD work! I'm glad that most of the car is 0.9 or 1mm

I've come to love my little fire escape ladder its an excellent tool!

yup, really pleased i'm really starting to enjoy this panel-making-business! I was hesitant about this one cause its structural but once i saw what i made and how it looks welded in... make me proud of myself

one of the neighbors came to talk to me today, he was impressed by what i was doing with my limited set of tools. I was already pretty pleased by the panel i made but stuff like that makes my day

rusty cars are cheaper, thats an advantage

I haven't seen an 850 in real life but they seem like really nice cars! google showed me some 850 sports coupe's... they look awesome!

I'll be there tomorrow, cant wait

Everybody searches rustfree cars, we not

It's a normal 850, but with large wheel weld, 1200cc EFI engine,...
Come and take a look if you want
