Wow I dont think I have ever seen so much rust in the tunnel as that car has, I really wish I could read french, all I could do was look at the pictures in your build thread. It really tripped me out when you separated the body and the pan and the bottom of the heater channels are still attached to the pan. Man good luck on the build I look forward to watching the build pictures! _________________ Ethan Dunlap

WOW! Awesome work on that pan, I think most people would have scrapped that one, including me.
I look forward to updates. _________________ If you can't join them, beat them! |

Sacre bleu!
You already have many skills- welding, trimming, fabricating, measureing- I hope you stick with the work and reassemble the car. We're all certain you will do a very thorough and exacting job. Your amount of work is what few of us in the USA can or even would want to do. So we're very eager to see updates, and to see it ultimately DRIVING again!
I realize you have much to do before you get to it, but do you plan to keep the current engine, or will you try to find a 36hp (30hp euro)? |
