My New 131
I bought my mate’s 131 and I’m down in England picking up the parts and will transport her back up to Scotland in Feb. My mate has owned the car for over 20 years. She’s a genuine original rust free car with new front panel, wings and a load of other spares as well. Suspension and engine have been rebuilt, bolts etc have been zinc plated. The car is apart and needs painting and reassembling. I will epoxy prime the whole car, stone chip the bottom and then topcoat the whole car except the A surfaces. The A surfaces will get painted once the car is back together.
Will try and do a build thread, will see how I go. Video of the car as it is currently; https://youtu.be/UatkrUYLCH4

Looks like a nice starting place. However, now that you have honed all your rust repair skills I predict that it is going to be too easy if it really is rust free. This might be a more appropriate 'next level' skill challenge.

Put away the parts but got more tidying and downsizing to do. Got a pic of the radio, very cool.
