I did a crazy amount of rust repair on this one, especially firewall back, but have made every effort to preserve existing patina and blend new sheet metal/paint with the old.

SAVE..... Those unique arabica jute sack seats really would add a genuine rustic look if they were clear wrapped & in filled with sheeps wool... warm & crinkly...just like in the good old days...
