    You have a fun project ahead of you

    Word on the 1/4 rust you posted, that is not surface rust, it's actually in the metal and is coming from the inside out. Do it right, and cut the metal right out of there.....patching it will just come back every few months over and over

    First things first get rid of those strips before they continue eating your fenders.

    I just wanted to give you a heads up, since you were going to make this a nice project car. I built a 96 hatch up 2-3 years ago, and started out the same way as you, with a clean hatch with even less rust than the car you have now. It had only a couple small bubbles on each side.....after only one winter, the rust had spread two two large patches on the passenger side alone, larger than toonies. You may want to concentrate on that part of your resto first...but, it's up to you!

    Why not just get one with no rust?

    either way, its most likely going to start rusting.

    Not sure why, but hatches seem very prone to rust, the 2 door coupes are much less prone to it...i rarely see them with rust at all unless they have come from out East.

    I sold my hatch in favor of a coupe, not even a single bubble anywhere. In the long run, i figured it was cheaper to start that way

    Get a clean body from BC with no rust anywhere, remove the shitty rubber strips that hold moisture and dirt and get a beater to drive in the winter.

    If you do it right, it is an expensive route. How far are you willing to go? Side moldings? Map light? RHD?

    agree with all comments but i got a good price for the car

    when i was looking for a hatch
    i wanted a
    99-00 front end
    Power steering
    Color black - so when i paint it white it wont look weird in the engine bay and stuff.

    was really hard to find one at the moment.....
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    this is pretty much what i want it to look like.... and not RHD
