Whitenoize Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Is it actually rotten/rusty mate? Would it be ok with a simple respray? Only asking as I could be in the market for a mk1 in the near future.The boot is rotten mate but I've one here to go on as far as I can see that's the only rust on the car..it just need the roof painted and the gt kit arch trim etc taking off and the sides painted and it would be mint.. Body shops round my way charge a bloody fortune because the think everyone in this area is loaded so charge through the roof Ah not to bad then, all sounds like it's fixable. Give me a shout if you decide to sell it on mateIt would only be a rolling shell for sale mate as I wanna keep all the bits for another build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah that's all I'm after is a rolling shell bud, just as long as the majority of it is there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chops Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 gonna be hard to guess its colour code by eye lol. looks like nissan flame red to me, but thats cause ive dealt with that colour in the past and is pretty much the only red i know, if u know what i mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
