Well it is home. I have a new project to work on and I can hardley wait to get out in the shop tonight and go through everything. This car was on here for sale and with it being a 99% rust free car I just had to have it. These pics are from Henry as he was getting it out and ready for it to come here... More pics and a complete build up coming to my new website that I am about to set up...

Story is that the car was taken apart to redo over 25 years ago and the gentleman passed away.. It set in a climate controlled building for 15 years before Henry got it.. then it set inside his shop for 10 years still never seeing rain... From the looks of the car I believe it..

Here is the photo from the ad... 10 years of dust on it. Not bad for a 25 year old paint job. The car will get a good compounding tonight and then a wax and buff... More pics to come..

Rear view with dust

A little water goea along way..

well the motor is apart.. I also got a new set of Cofaps for it so i am going to go back with the 36hp motor...It is not going to be a 100% original car but a very nice og style driver.. I am even going to use my semaphores... I think I have about everything to finish the car with except a few small pc's... He even though in a new headliner and carpet set...

YEP it is a Euro 58...
