    geezuss mal! you're the ultimate "rust buster" haha!

    good to see you're saving another 86. when i first stripped mine and searched for rust, i thought mine was bad. good work!

    can't wait to see what you do to this.

    yeah its heaps of welding lol, and the other one should have the 2-pak primer on as I write this, so hopefully the paint will follow directly afterwards. I will def get some pics up as soon as its back!

    Make sure you treat the rusty bits, inside and out. Or it will be back within the year.
