This is built from the revell release of the esci rs1800. This is the kit I built when I first got back into models a couple of years ago and is mostly stock apart from a mixed set of wheels and tyres. It is built to represent the cars I saw the older kids running around in once they gave up on their 50cc motorbikes and graduated to cars, then wrecked/modified and rebuilt them. It really should have a black rubber window louvre on the rear window but I didn't have one that was close to fitting. The one door has been replaced with a new one but not painted, and with the trim from the new door left on. It was wired with the only wire I had at the time. I also added red primer on the places I remember these rusting at, and given the age of the owner it would most likelly be a copy of the sun and isopon filler used for the repairs, just the thing to make the rust even worse for the next owner, lol
You've gotta love those classic builds man. First off, it looks great given the material and the skills you had at that time. Secondly, it's always good to have these around to show where we came from in modeling. My old builds have come in handy a couple of times when my son asked me how I got so good at modeling (like I actually am good or something 
..lol) and I'll refer back to the teen age builds that I have and remind him that we all come from some where.
