Is a Fridolin Pan a fridolin only pan? from what I can tell from pics on this site, they use a swingaxle tranny and ball joint front beam. It almost looks like a type three pan with very square rear styling on the left and right but with a type 1 bulk head, almost ghia style.

thanks,
Patrick

Fridolins sit on Ghia pans, not Type 3. The only difference is that the rear section of the pan has a double layer which allows the pan to remain flat from the top side. I'm shitty at posting pictures here in the forum, but if you need some pics, I can send you some.

That makes sense. the rear of the pan did look different. Pics would be nice. I was looking at the pics here, in fact saw some of your in the files.

thanks,

Hi Sickfrid:

Quick question... The wife is just insane over the Fridolins... She wants it to be our next project... We are financially comfortable, but not loaded with big $$$... Have you heard of any restorable Frids. in the US or semi completed ones for sale (hell would consider a completed one if reasonably priced)? I have seen yours... And we want to follow your style with our own twist... As a lurker and observer for the most part, I noticed that you seem to be the guru on Fridolins and some other nice projects..

Thanks Marty

Whats the story on this one, over priced, needs to much work? Noticed its been listed for awhile.

I cheked this out, the rear quarters have been cut for the wheels but those panels can be sourced for about £500 for both, it needs to have the windscreen with it because finding another is a hard task! its in better condition than mine! :lol:

Way way way over priced i won this car on ebay for $2,000 at the begenning of summer but it was sold out from under me AFTER the auction end

someone else on here was going to buy it and traveled a long distance wasted alot of gas but the car was "not as described" he knows what this seller paid for it and so do i but last time it was mentioned the thread was deleted within hours

pics of the pan would be really good,.. it might be a t-14 ghia pan or a thing pan.
something to think about.
