    Since it wasnt driving that much all these years was it staying outside on the field? The rockers and probably the underside also is pretty much shot. I wish you good luck on the restoration and a lot of patience. You'll definitely need it. :D

    p.s. i love that color though :p

      Nope not in a field. Just driven rarely. Owner was working at sea. The rust is from salty winterstreets. Driven like 5k a year all its life.

            I'd rather do and update the thread, then reveal all my plans right away. But yeah make it look good and perform well, yes an engine swap.

                  Yikes, that rust looks scary. I honestly wouldn't have taken that for free.

                          I wouldn't complain about rust so much because I love Saturnblau. Definitely keep us updated on this.
