Thought i'd rescue this one, its only had 2 owners both in the same family, 74 model, 4 speed, big block factory 1400 motor and the usual grandpa touch ups. I'll post more pics after i've stripped and cleaned it.

If anyone has bits for one of these i,m interested : rear bumper, interior rear view mirror, seats in white, also some Sigma steel wheels with factory center cap

nice score and great rescue on the old lancer! :(

keep us posted on it even though its not a rolla?i used to have a 2door 1977 yellow GD galant,fark how i miss that car!

More pics. Drove it back from work, goes great but i think the head has sprung a water leak near number 2 spark plug!

This is the result after 12 hours of stripping, cleaning, polishing and putting it all back together.

WOW, Really does not look like the same car.

wow! that really came up looking good, glad to see this didnt end up crushed and melted down to make daewoo's

More before and after shots!

And more!

Even had a little help !

Child labour. That's what I like to see! :)

Any before and after of the engine bay?

The front seats came up really well. :)

how the hell did you get the front seats soooo clean, what did you use?

A very good degreaser, scrubbing brush and a pressure cleaner. Actually thats how most of the car was done, degreaser, polish, window cleaner and silicone spray for the tyres and mud flaps was all i used.

Here's the engine bay pics. Was pretty clean to start with.

well done!imagine you could do with 24hrs,Mivec engine?
