Thanks John, thats the problem with steel, it rusts (especially 60's Italian Steel). I posted some more photos showing how bad the car was. I knew it was not great when I bought it, but I did not know to what extent. Oh well, I am pretty happy with the results, it's only money as they say!
You are right, possibilities are endless with modern technology. Your project sounds like fun, your car should be a riot to drive. Are you going to convert to rack and pinion steering?
