If itwas just the body i would say fix it but if the chassis is full of holes take the motor out and bin it
 
i thought that too but there not major holes that cant be repaired so gona give it a go if i come to stuck and something cant be done ill get rid
 
It'll be a long job mate.

Please try to keep to one thread as you've already made three regarding the same problem!

Have a good look through the disco section for a few Oakes, there's a healthy amount of info about rusty discos.

Seek and you shall find. And learn. And become depressed.
 
it is a long job,but you know far better what you have once you have almost all of it apart by yourself.

we sunk £1400 into a blatant writeoff. Notmade of cash so i had no choice.
