Like like a pretty solid base to start from, the rust is well on its way of course, have you had it running yet?
I like the way nature has taken hold in the boot lol

Flip the back seat base forward on its front hinges.
Release the locks top corner of the rear seat back and it swings down forward.
You should then be able to clear anything stored in the boot area.
If you particularly want the boot lock released I will take you through how to do it from inside without damage.

It looks reasonably solid, with only the front jacking points showing obvious signs of rot. It will be intersting to see what it's like underneath, especially the rear chassis rails.

I can't see the first digit clearly in the photo, but it looks like the Rp number is 5702, giving a production date of 19 June 1992.

I would say that is 5702. Within a couple of days of my two. And KBan I believe.

That is an interesting project and I would certainly make sure all the hydraulic pipework underneath including around the rear subframe is good! It looks like the car has retro-fitted leather from the blue carpet and central console! Regards, Matthew T.

It's original leather. The carpet has bleached due to the sunshine. Standing cars seem to suffer more.
