If you would like to do a thorough job, then remove the body from the chassis and prep the pan properly. You'll be amazed at the amount of (previously undiscovered) rust...
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

I think if I do that with mine, I might not be able to put it back together again :P

After my two are done, we can sort yours out properly. Spray it Porsche Viper green so that it remains a Groenie.

Do drop it off by the Blitzwerk garage next year :P

Small world - A month or two back I came across another Fastback at a local panelbeater, took a picture of it and forgot about it.

This morning, I met the panelbeater again and he was telling me that "A guy named Aziz from Joburg owns the car, it was light blue, now it's a metallic colour...."
