The car is now Silver and is 99.9 % rust free. No signs of rust coming back for a while at lest anyway.

The car is almost complete now, i think it looks pretty good. Will get pics later after it stops raining.

 

However i have also decided to fix the interior. The dated brown has to go so i decided to paint the door trims black, make a custom speaker shelf and a custom centre console. so if you have any ideas or comments post them up.
