There's a company in Europe who will be getting some more of the refurbed white AZEV 5 spokes later in the year:

They're not a bad price, waiting on a postage quote. I think they're the best option for aftermarket. Then I can keep the stock wheels and get them sorted out over time.

Yes do it!

Yes please..... look great. But like you say keep the originals.

Called Just Rust. Trying not to hassle them too much

The rear corner is rebuilt in metal now, not rust and filler. Front guards aren't removed yet, waiting for that to happen to see the A pillar rust. And they have promised me some more photos.

Some work going on there.
Always amazes me how rust takes hold in a multitude of places rather than all over although I guess given time it creeps further and further

No more progress yet - they tell me it's booked for a couple of full weeks soon.

Is it wrong that I'm thinking about changing the rear spoiler? If I get the white 17s this would look cool.

In my opinion, originality is what counts on a classic like this.
All the bling that can be added looks cool but detracts from the image.
I always think that bling appeals to the less knowledgable while the true enthusiast looks past all that

Yeah you're right. Silly idea. Forget I said anything. Move along.

RobClubley · « **Reply #348 on:** January 22, 2016, 12:21:21 pm »

I just want it back to play with!

keep all the original parts and do what makes you happy. you're not building it for other people's approval right?

otherwise you're just keeping it original for the next owner instead of enjoying it how you want it.

If I was the fun police I would recommend holding off on the bling bits till you have the car on the road.

Yes I'm trying to do that

Not having the car to work on makes me browse the internets and look at things. With the spoiler, it would need painting. And the existing one needs painting....

put your own styling on it Rob, but as already mentioned keep all unused parts, "you only live once" do what you like!!!

RobClubley · « **Reply #353 on:** February 01, 2016, 10:23:21 am »

They have promised me a full 9 days's work starting today.

Looking forward to the promised photos of what's under the front guards.
I'm off work Thursday so I'll call in for a look

schattenblau · « **Reply #354 on:** February 01, 2016, 11:12:47 am »

buy another one.

one to mod, one to keep stock

RobClubley · « **Reply #355 on:** February 01, 2016, 11:19:11 am »

I like your thinking. But I haven't worked out if I can afford this one yet

Apparently there's a red one for sale near me, with no engine.

89 Coupe · « **Reply #356 on:** February 01, 2016, 07:47:29 pm »

Wonder what that would be worth...?

$5

RobClubley · « **Reply #358 on:** February 01, 2016, 08:18:07 pm »

He's asking $15k apparently.

Rear end now getting sorted out. Many towbar fixing holes to fill. And stripping the underseal has revealed a bodged repair from when the car has been hit in the rear. It was mostly held together with underseal behind the rear arch.
