Hi all,

Thought I would post up some pics of my Stanza Coupe project. I bought it about 3 years ago as a 1 owner car 100% stock standard. Unfortunately it had some rust in it so I got to and stripped it down to a shell, repaired all the rust, rebuilt the engine while it was out and put it back together. Nothing has been put back on the car that is not up to exceptional standard or rebuilt. I have chosen to keep it 100% stock standard as i think it would be a shame to modify such a rare car. Will post up more pics soon.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for sharing.
You're right, rare car worth keeping just as.

I'm glad you're keeping it the way it is, since it's an original car. Looks good, I'll be looking forward to seeing the end result.

awesome. First drive after a build is always special.

Have your bumpers always been straight or have you had them fixed up? I want to get mine straightened out and re-chromed but not many shops here do that kinda thing.

dammit i want a Stanza coupe :(

It was awesome to drive it!

Front bar is a NOS part. Rear had straightend and re chromed by a local buisness called Everlast 08 8359 1600. I think they sent it away so might be worth calling these guys in the link below to see if they are the same people..
