I think I have one of those ultra rare British made REPUs..

I knew there was floor rust in my 1977 repu but I think the order of composition is mostly air, some rust and a metal transmission tunnel. Rest of the body doesn’t look too bad w some at bottom of doors and the top hood corner. Looks like my son and I get to learn some new skills...

Sorry man. My 14yo son would hate me. It’s been “his” truck since he was 6 and we would drive it around coming home smelling of exhaust. If anything I may sell my 85 gslse to fund work on the truck.
- rust repair
- paint
- b2200 front spindles and brakes
- new rear end
- engine is a recent Bridgeport w a Dellorto. I think this thing needs a modest street port so you get more than 8mpg and quiet it a bit. Intake sucks and needs swapped regardless.
