Hi suburb,
No it was a surprise. I bought the car "upon picture" in an private auction from a notary office, first time I did so. No time to think more than this when you can catch a GTS Longchamp at a decent price. On the other hand, there were no reason this Longchamp not having the cancer like others :-). I'm not afraid by this kind of job, so I took the risk. I must say it's not too rusty compared with others I've seen. The car is 57K kms only.

racheliane, just to compare to the rust in mine, some is similar, some I have way less of, some more. The worst and most surprising to me was in the C-pillar on the left, could stick my hand through. Mine seems to have no rust in the bottom at all.
Good work

So did you do all this work in one long weekend?
Great job - looks like you were busy for a while.
Nice looking car. I am jealous!

the trunk is 1 weekend to do both sides
Rockers with front fender, 1 WE per side
inner fender walls, 1 day both sides once the interior is removed
My job doesn't give me much time for my hobbies, all of this is spread over 2 months
