Here's my story of a rusty car with a bleak future...
It all began in December of last year when I was looking for a fun car to play with on weekends, while still retaining my truck as a daily. I wanted a car that was already running, and simply needed some coilovers, rolled fenders, and cool wheels. I bought a car which had none of those, and a great deal more rust than I ever wanted to see on one car. I blew it on that checklist, but at the same time I bought a car a hundred times more fun than anything I had in mind...
Here's how she came the day I brought her home to the shop with simple intentions of a motor swap, suspension, and wheels. How foolish of me...
The previous owner had kindly left everything disassembled in a barn for me, so it was nice and rusty...
I promptly got it inside to start working on it in January, and this next series of pictures is sort of an onslaught of the kind of damage I inflicted on this unsuspecting pop-can of a car...
Frame looked like shit, so I started cutting bits of it off to reveal the awesomeness of previous owners...
Floors also looked fucked thanks to other people, so those fucked off too...
Battery tray looked like a bag of mashed weens, so I cut it out and welded in some new stuff...
Gutted 'er to get rid of all the sound deadening in favour of a fresh coat of POR15 once everything's patched and some new material to keep the interior fresh to death...
