Hey guys,
Noob to the forum, at least posting wise. Bought a '74 2.0 the summer after my sophomore year of HS. 5 years later its almost ready to be a roller again. Thing was a complete rust bucket and probably shoulda been scrapped. Helped my dad and I learn how to weld and do metal work though. Hopefully in under a month it'll be off the rotisserie and be a roller. Hopefully I'll remember how this damn thing goes back together.

Some of the work I've done so far. I'll spare you guys the carnage that was the rust pit and just stick to the stuff that looks good.

Not much on there as of yet, just some powdercoating and interior stuff.

Also... bottom of the car is covered in POR15. Primer then undercoat or can I just undercoat it and be good to go? Or just say screw under coat and protect it with something else? Ideas welcomed. Also... cheap or free parts to a poor college student trying to get his car back together are welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here's a few pictures before I killed it.

A small part of the rust damange. A lot of custom pieces were made up instead of buying replacement. Free metal from the shops my dad knows is a great thing.

And here's its current state... kinda. This picture is a few months old. Some rust repair and welding have gone on since then. My little sister's old swing set came in handy for the rotisserie. Gotta love those 4x6's!!!
