Cars don't rust here.

Well, unless they're Alfas, Lancias or Ladas. :lol:

I live in the suburbs, so no need for long range diesel. 8)

Petrol here is $1.50ish (58p) a litre.

Boring pics, but I won't have a camera for the next 3ish weeks, and by then hopefully should be pics of the car all nice and straight, in ghetto harlequin.

Just got to finish sanding it, go over it with finer paper to make it nice and smooth, then pop rivet one last crack, and fill + sand the rivets and she'll be ready for paint...
