Poor bugger looks like he's been there for a while. Such a shame to have to kick him out

Donkey always welcomes little critters to cruise with/in him
I can flick ya some postage $ for him if he's being evicted from auto control duties (I will reassign him some stick shift duties in Donkey

)

Slowly getting ready to stick her on a spit and send off to the blasters,looks like the old grey ghost is going to be the sacrificial lamb for a few rust repair panels as after a fair bit of poking around turns out the grey ghost is pretty much rooted

Yeah it's sad. Found a heap of rust in front chassis rail, floor, a pillars ,plus the rust in B pillars,sills,both shock towers ect ect plus all the dodgy bogged up dents, to far gone, but good news is the places it doesn't have rust can be used on the white one haha

Pretty good couple of small holes in passenger side, most of its issues are around windows and drip rails from having a vinyl roof, hopefully it comes back from blasters not looking like Swiss cheese
