Man this is an awesome project!!!! Would love an AW11! The skills and enjoyment of the drive will make all the hard work worth it, and to pass on a car you built to your daughter?! Wow! That is a real father there!

It's going to be hard, it's going to take time, but that's the point. It will be awesome when it's done. Can't wait to see this progress!
Great work, Matty.Can't wait to see the progress. I absolutely loved my Aw11 Mr. two back about 17 years ago, she was a bit crusty in parts but not bad. I had so great drives, in it such a fun litte car. Will be watching from the UK as always.
loads of separate projects you have there....There are people in other parts of the world would kill for a car that age with that little rust. Have a look on YT for videos on phosphoric acid rust treatment.... it might be what you need for round that moon roof aperture.....

Looks like fun. A lot of work though. Looking forward to see you work through it.
I think you'll be fine Matt. There are some tricky bits in there but if you tackle the easy bits first you'll eventually get the skills to take on the harder areas.
Fun times ahead for you! Check out she'll be right garage. He's great at making panels and fabbing.
autowerk kyneton is a great old school bloke he did my vl body work and he was quick and cheap and quality a real unicorn in the industry but you have to trailer the car to him obviously
Gonna say you were lucky with the handbrake being removed/off when you got it. AW handbrakes love to seize on. its quite the problem ive seen, only experienced it twice thankfully.
Keep it up matt!
Great project. Rust isn’t that bad, just going to be fiddly.
Great project Matt. If it didnt need lots you wouldn't learn lots. I am doing a 260Z atm which does have a bit less rust but still needs lots of work. I have replaced the rear quater panel and learnt a tonne. Dandenong Tafe does an advance welding short course which helped me alot. The experience you gain and satisfaction when completed is lost on a lot of people. Love the AW11. May swap my SW20 for one in the future. Watching with great interest.
Mister 3SGTE...😈 You know you want to.
About to pick up my own aw11 with worse rust, myself. So here to follow along and get an idea of what kinda nightmare I'm in for myself
Would be good to get onto Sam at SQ engineering, he does a lot of 4AGE stuff including ignition coil conversions / dizzy delete stuff, to bring things up to modern day tech. I’d be curious to hear what you are thinking in terms of the dream engine?
Solid progress, a lot of work ahead of you!
She'll always be 'Bumpy Mc bump Steer' to me ;)
You really should totally strip the car down and get it blasted, It will show up all the rust even the rust you know about yet.
