@ Nicolas: Nice! Post photos when it arrives please.
@MikeSimon: The body is in good shape, it's the fenders and hood that have some rust/denting. I can repair that, but hope to score rustfree panels instead, make life a bit easier. Meanwhile this will be 'daily' transportation (insofar as I have that, working from home still) and as the panels can be removed, I can do one bit at a time.
All the while as I am still making progress on the Lancia Fulvia - it's about halfway done now, all new fenders, all rust addressed. Now doing
'the dirty work' removing all the old undercoating and dirt underneath and in the wheel wells. Then epoxy coating, followed by new undercoating. Then new brake and fuel lines. Once the underside is done, taking the body to bare metal, prime + single stage urethane paint which I will do myself (first time).
The Volkswagen will also get a new coat of paint - not decided yet whether to keep the current soft-yellow, or go for a sky blue.
The Spitfire is waiting patiently until the Lancia is done, I expect by July it will be its turn.
And, yes, I had to promise my wife that no more stray cars will be adopted until one finds a new home, so this will be it for a while.
That is, besides me helping my son with the upgrades/repaint on his new-to-him '73 Datsun 240Z, which is running really strong.
So our driveway and garage are now filled with seventies cars, which makes the '90 Bronco II look a bit too modern, haha (am now in the middle of replacing its cylinder heads with new ones - it was losing coolant that was ending up under the valve covers, we figure it's the heads, fingers crossed. Two brand new heads with valves installed, $500).
