nice 200b mate. That is some nasty rust. What are your plans for it?

You should put your location to help with parts. There is a 200B been wrecked at the moment on the active topics. Other than that just put up a wanted topic.

The bonnet and boot seem to rust quite badly on these, you can get a few repair panels i've seen in another thread on here (new ones, made by a metalcraft guy) but i've never seen replacement bonnet/boot skins.
Would be good if they did em though!

Well im not 100% on what the plan is for the engine i was originally gonna go sr20 but then i started considering a rotary and then i even thought about extending the front end and putting in a v8 but i guess its all gonna come down to money and time i wanna spend on it. But i do know i wanna split the hood in 2 to open from the centre and also gonna do suicide doors. And im thinking about shaving the doors i wanna do a custom dash of possibly checker plate. Custom paint job. 18 inch rims. Pretty much just going for a show car but i also wanna try and keep it street legal.

The worst of the rust is definately on the boot lid and bonnet i would much rather replace them then cut it but if absolutely have to i can do it i mean worked on worse but all the other stuff will be pretty easy. I was happy yesterday when i took out the seats and centre console and pulled up the carpet to find that the floor was in almost perfect condition. But all in all it should fun and cant wait till im done

I would try and replace the rusted out panels if you can i certainly did. But im lazy. I have always thought a rotary would be cool in my 200b. Should my engine die i certainly would consider doing a rotary conversion.

Sounds like you have alot of ambition with this car good luck!

i dont mean to be a fun ruiner but suicide doors wanky paint job and 18's wont get you far in any decent car show on a datto, maybe a rx7 or skidrine, if you have the skills to extend the front end that rust should be no problem for you :P haha :thumbsup:
