Hi,

the car is now in Germany near Saarbrücken, price 40.000€. Is there anybody who can tell me if the car is in good condition, or if there is something I should check more precisely?

Hi,
I bought the car, it is a total wreck.
Now outer sills welded on original outer sills.
A LOT of filler.
IRS has to be totally dismanteled and resassembed correctly
The old "restorer" did not quiet understand how to dismantle it correctly (he did it with a big hammer) and could not resassemle it correctly as the bolts of the brakes were touchting the bolts of the caliper bracket. (the shaft output hole was no longer round to fit the bearings)
The large radius arm bushfixation on one side is totally rotten as the floor is totally rotten. Everything has been painted with underbody coating.
Lot op pieces missing!
Electrical cables with +12 V not isolated.....under the dash.
Dash and A-pillar pieces double trimmed....
etc etc
I try to document everything on
1R12736.wordpress.com
Final word: the price is totally exagerated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
