Shameless copy/paste work from Oz Bluebird forum where I've posted it originally. 
Could contain some half finished reply's from that other forum too 
Finally I found some time to restore my car.
Planning is to remove the rust on the car (it's just a little rust! ^_^ )
Remove the dents and scratches and paint it in the original color.
Just after I parked the car in de garage.
 stripped the back end of the car.
 the rear doors.
 the front doors and the headlights,grill, bumper removed.
 the bonnet removed
 the chrome strips removed. The windshield is glued, is that original from the factory?
Next comming is the back window removing, then I can start with banging, welding, sanding and painting.
I'll keep it posted! :tops:

small update!
The planned welding is done and I've started to fill up the new pieces that I welded in.
It's almost smooth, but I ran out of time today <_<
@ Rob:
 Here's a close up of the grinder. Perfect for small area's!
This lift is making this work a lot easier!
hmm, stupid safety bumps! <_<
He's sounding cool now, with the torn exaust and running on 3 cilinders!
10mb of raw L18 sounds and me trying to get the car from the lift

it's back home again! :w00t:
Not finished tough. Doorstrips and the logo's must be glued back on.
And im looking for some nice wheels. 13'' doesnt fit at the front. They are hitting the brake calipers <_<
But it's driving again. damn, I missed driving that slow brick. :wub:
I've got S13 struts waiting to go on my Bluey.
Let's hope for many years of driving without any worries.
First drive since last October.
me=happy chap B)

and a starlet P7 racer, Carina GTi DTCC, Toyota Seven, Toyota LeMans car (not the GT-One, but an earlier model) etc. etc.
And it still is sad to see all those beautifull classic Toyota's stacked on that 'stage'
