The 1st time I laid my eyes on her along the road with a big sign "For Sale"...I know she's meant for me :)
So I got her and she will be my 2nd project car...
Due to age, rusts are everywhere! :)
Time to work to bring back her beauty!

I am really surprised to see no oil leaks on the engine
Engine is clean for its age
Even the carb is clean
The brake and clutch caps cover are all rust!
Here's some body parts that need repair works

Underchassis....LEAKS!
Worn out rubber bushings everywhere!
The handbrake doesn't work but at least the cable is intact, probably just minor adjustment
