Got the door braceslast week so I could weld in the supports, and they sent the wrong damn braces 
Screw it, got bored and did up a seat back:
Found a little motivation and started to get the pan built up. Still have a lot of little parts to paint.

Hello Joe, how are you? Sorry for the invasion, I am the former owner of the second set of wheels pictured here, I do not know if the man who sold you went about it, Titânio is the brand, the model is Vênus, were manufactured in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil in the 1960s. I am of Barueri, a city in São Paulo, Brazil.
I took the liberty of posting two pictures of my car with him, okay?
And great to know that the wheels are in good hands, because I like them very much, I will follow your topic.
Congratulations on the car, is a beautiful example and is extremely rare in Brazil.
Big hug from Brazil!
Diego |
