    Ok , Bottom line is that the rust is not as bad as I invisaged ( every one has a different perspective to the term --- bad rust ). But I still intend to reshell it ( as I have a staight, no rust shell ) . So the car has had it's rust areas treated and sealed and after several projects in front are completed then it will be rebuilt as an ( AUST) Trueno.

    Here is the rust before treatment.















    OH! Not pictured and as usual , the Hatch is total crap ---- they nearly always are --- but I have a couple of good spares . Also this shell will be FIXED , lightened and prepared as a spare race shell .


    In WW2 they would have classified it as CAT 2 medium FLAK damage .
