Picked this guy up as an impulse buy off Trademe with the intent of doing him up. Really happy that I did
Car has been sitting in a shed for the past ten years and only has 130,000 km on it. It has had its rego exempt so that is nice.
At the moment just trying to fix all the major rust for it to be able to get a warrant. It has a 3A engine in it and it is auto
so by no means is it fast, might have to fix that later 
.There are a few things that aren't too good on it. There is damage to the lower left side skirt and little rust spots in the paint, hopefully I can get to them before they rust all the way through.
Going to have a go this weekend at the paint and see what it is like after a buff and a wax but that might need to be re-sprayed in the future.
Engine has a ticking noise that seems to go away when the engine warms up, it sounds like it is coming from the top and only happens below ~3000 rpm. Any thoughts? Loose tappets?
Rust is not too much of an issue apart from the front bumper iron of which I am in the process of welding up, (anyone know it is structural or not?).
Photos: Front bumper is off too get at iron.
