Rafik,
Looking great! You've obviously put a mountain of work into getting it right. Can't wait to see the old girl back in speedster red. Thanks for posting the update.
DG

I can't wait either David, should've just put it on the road back in 2008 without getting dragged into the full restoration hype

Nice car Rafik,

how many month/years did you plan for the restoration?
Did you have already all little parts, interieur, chrome, engine etc. restored?

The hardest part for me was the organisation of canvas things, correct interieur and wooden bows.

Dont blast to much, i think the body metal is very, very thin now.
I had the same problem, but i coated tons of tin on my body, to save much as possible original metal.

It looks like you have a problem under the passenger door.
Maybe you need a new longi.

Greetings, Frank
