Looks fine, done anything about the dampers/shock absorbers? I'd recommend the KYB rally ones, if you can find them - very good on the seal and on bumpy gravel, they still give a surprisingly smooth ride, surprised a lot of people on some very rutted tracks at speed.

All my suspensions stock atm, plans are to get rear springs compressed around -60mm and get new shocks to suit to keep springs captive and will probably jus hack a couple of coils off the frontt springs

its like a twin of mine! only more unloved by previous owners.
Buy the king springs off trademe someone has listed, cheaper and better than compressing some.
Buy new front shocks, remove the steel bushes and fit them into the rear. I have fiat 131 front shocks in my front although there is a miriad of shocks you can use. Thats what I did in my wagon, worked a treat (I also used kings and then cut 1 & 1/2 coils off)
Sedan runs Kings & cobra's, gaz adjustible rear shocks, Koni yellow fronts..

Great nice looking sedan, like the widened rholstyles , the sedan I got for parts is really rusty in the back and floors and battery tray so the hatch is my preferred optipn

Haha your rust is in almost exactly the same places as it was on mine.... I would have cut out more of the boot floor though... looks pretty thin
