My new 1977 sport coupe


Recommended Posts

Looks super solid, much better than the wagon I just finished welding back together.... I can't wait to see some progress on this one!

 

That's what I was thinking when I bought it. It just has a couple of small patches of rust. Not bad at all for a 35 year old subaru.

I got some more work finished on the coupe yesterday. I also found a surprise under the rear seats.

Hey Pooparu, that rust usually comes from a leaking rear window seal. The water leaks down and is then soaked up by the rear seat cushion/foam. Because the foam is relatively deep the water never dries out and rust starts it's usual process of attacking metal...

 

Does not look too bad on your coupe and I am surprised by the state to the front cowl! This is the usual rust area...
