Original bbuild thread. (for some pics ) http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... 5&start=15

Ok guys, I have been working on other cars whilst this FB has been in storage.. I have recenty picked it up ready to get started on it again.. and found large bog crack in Drivers side rear Quater panel, smashed the bog away and there was rust, rust hole in quaterpanel.. on the rear side of the wheel arch.. and it has a fairly large area around it rusted too.. the cars sills are completely rusted, lowr quaters rusted, floors have been sheet metaled with rivets(easy fix I think they didnt cut any larger than the replacement floor pans..and it also has alot of rust in random little places.. Is it too far gone???? should i keep all the parts and scrap the shell? Cheers...

depends on how much you wanna save it.
just about nothing's too far gone. qtr panel, easy fix, just find a decent qtr

Thanks, I guess I could try to get a Quater panel, but I guess that would be just as easy as finding a new shell

I don't want to be a vulture. But if you were to part with it, what would you be asking?
