TWINCAM SHELL REBUILD...

hey everyone,
well, after writing off my little yellow corolla (rip  ) i bought a stripped twincam shell with a waterlogged motor and half the engine in pieces, no panels (except for 2 badly dented doors), a completely trashed interior, no lights, etc.
the plan was to somehow get the thing running, and pull bits off both my written off car, and a white parts car i had sitting around. so , 3 weeks of hard work (and an incredible amount of luck) later, ive managed to get the thing onto the road, and looking (almost) roadworthy.
i took a few pictures in the process, so i thought i'd post a few of them up....if nothing else they're good for a laugh. 
so at the moment the car is yellow/white/silver/rust couloured  but hopefully will soon be getting sprayed..
stu, wayne, anthony and dave, tweety's been reincarnated...hehe

What colour are you plannin on for the respray roman ?
Silver would look pretty neat + a nice set of chromed/shadowchrome aftermarket wheels
red always looks fast + sporty - or are you going to be original ?

Good work Roman. Did you have any trouble getting twin cam running?
If you want to paint the car red I have 4L of automotive acrylic that you can have.
