Slowly, things start to happen.
I removed the running boards and was shocked on first sight. The driverside-board was nothing but rust and dust! But then, I found all new heater channels welded into the car. It seems as if the job was done quite good, even though its only spot-welded and rust-prevention is done with undercoat-sealing.
However, the Passengerside is in the same fair condition. The insides of the doors are okay as well and with only little rust to treat.
In addition, I found out that the car received a new passenger door once. It really looks brand new and has some handwritten marks on the inside.
The "reparations" the previous owner mentioned, slowly turn out to be an almost-full-restauration focused on functionality instead of optics, accomplished some ages ago! Provides a good feeling to go on with it to me!

Hey,
yeah - well, no news so far, but I just wanted to add some more pictures... :-)
In the back you can see my '84 daily driver. It used to have a nice 1.6l with double carbs on it. But due to horrendous gas prices and high mileage per day I set back to single carb. I even consider to go back to the 1.2l motor now...
Currently I'm looking for a period california plate in yellow as the blue ones are for cars from the 70s - no easy find though!
Interior features some cool goodies like radio, fuel gage and clock as well as red carpeting and lining! ... Awesome!
