Also , if you plan on blasting it yourself and your not experienced then you are going to have bigger problem's with the body than the rust . Do yourself a favour and spend some money on a good shell as it will be cheaper than your rust repairs . You will save yourself a lot of time , money and heartache which will end up being an unfinished project that has sucked you dry .
In regards to a previous comment when you were thinking of installing a T56 . You need a lot more room than the auto tunnel can offer . Stand a better chance of fitting 9 stubbies in a 6 pack carry bag .

Nothing has happened on either car in the last 12 months (due to not having much time). But the plan is to have both cars blasted by a professional and then assess the shells as to whether they are salvageable/a rough idea of cost for the rust repair's required. If they are salvageable then the EK will be a restoration not a modified. The FB will be the modified. I've canned the idea of a T56, I'll probably go 327 chev with a Turbo 350.
