As I'm been snooping around here, trying to get some insight on my new car. I thought it would only be decent to share my project with you guys to.
This is going to be a long term prosjekt, as it hasn't been on the road for a decade. and it has a lot of rust as the pictures will eventually show.
The reason why I wanted to restore this car, is that my dad bought it "new" from the dealer in 1984 with 16 000km on the speedo. and he has been the only owner since then. So this is the car that I grew up in, and when I saw this car when I was younger, I knew it was dad coming home.
Thats the reason why I'm willing to spend ALOT more money and time than it would cost me to buy a "mint" car..
But now for some pictures:

Right rear bumper fastening:

The interesting part, the inner wheelarches in front of the rear wheel:
And it seems like somebody has tried to lift it by the roof, got "new" chrome lying around, and the roof wasn't ruined..:
Cracked filler, and a small dent:
Drying in the garage:
The only wear and tear on the interior is this:
1983 floor mats (this is the ugly one..
):
Poor image of the back seat:
The plaquet from the people that importet the car 29.12.83:
