The Madness Begins......

I recently [read : finally] began work on my 1981 GS. I am stripping it down to the body, sanding, priming and doing the bodywork etc right now. Plans include a 13B-T from an 86-88 TII, TII 5-spd, gsl-se rearend, full custom interior as well as a few extras. No part of this car will be left untouched. Any suggestions/comments/helpful advice will be much appreciated....

I know, needs lots of work, but what else am I doing!

naaaaaa, just alot of hands on fun. This is my first long term project, not going to be a daily driver. I started sandblasting the engine compartment today, the car is nothing but body, suspension and ....the e-brake handle. Stripped down to nothing its a sound shell, just doing it bit by bit
