never be the same result as new metal and plenty of waxoily after paintwork. not that extreme. id much rather do that than start cleaning rust and patching it up and then just waiting on it coming back

That looks amazing especially in the older pics when it was complete.
Looks like a little fat Quattro.
That would be perfect in silver and drivng the back wheels.
