My Levin resto UPDATE

Well its taking a couple of weeks longer than I expected,
but we're getting there with my Levin.
A few pics of the car in fresh paint....


At the moment the mirrors and boot lid still have to be sprayed , after that the whole car will get buffed up before I fit all the new lamps and satin black bumpers

Strip-down...

Well as I said in my last post I wanna get this mini restoration done asap,
so here's a few pic's of the Levin striped and ready for some body work before it all gets sprayed.

Off with both bumpers,
front and rear lamps,
sideskirts,
all window trims ,
mirrors
door handles and locks,
and the old rusty boot lid!




Before I decided to go the whole way with the Levin , I had picked up a very fresh boot lid from a mate , as I  knew I had to get this done along with a small amount of rust I found under the boot lid seal. 
Water was leaking in under the seal and fogging up the rear windows, so I wanted to catch it early before anymore rust appeared around the back end.



Thats it striped and ready for repair, other than the rust under the boot lid it needs some small repairs to the driver and passenger doors and the front passenger wing.


Some prepped bodywork pictures soon, and 
I'm expecting the SSR centers back from being blasted and powder-coated next week.
Hopefully I'll get some of the heater or steering work done over the weekend.
