Hey guys the front has received its de-rusting chemical or something(It eats away all the rust that you cant get to) and the back has been smoothed out now. All the rust will be gone by tomorrow and maybe a primer on aswel.

Well all the rust is gone and the body putty took its place. The rear window wiper is a thing of the past and all the holes have been coverd up. Now just to finish off the putty with some elbow grease and then we are starting with the primer!

While I was standing there taking those pictures and lifting up the bootlid I suddenly realized how freakin heavy the rear window is.

So I had an idea...perspex...would it fit??? would it look right??? Has anyone done that mod yet?

kak idea boet... You gonna be spending all that cash on making your car look good and then fit a perspex window... Imagine how its gonna fade, scratch and warp after a few months... Seeing that u are in CT, have a look ay any Golden Arrow bus' window... that's made out of perspex and it looks very kak... Also proper race cars use Lexan, not perspex...

Ok well then lexan is the way to go!

stop being a p_ssy. its just a car. and new paint and nice wheels are the two easiest way to make a car look good man!

also - it'll give you a chance to remove any rust you have, cos you also live at the coast - which is a curse(if you love cars) and a blessing (if you love surfing) !!!
