I have been gathering parts for the past year to embark on a ground up job for my convertible, and the week-end before I decided to take it in, a BMW lost control and hit my right side thus shoving me onto the left side barrier. Car got badly bashed from the right and a little from the left
That was the sign to take it in, and fortunately no chassis damage occured. See photos below.
This happened about 2 months ago, and it took us till last week to agree with the insurance on a tentative figure. Still, I was given the go ahead to start work, which began 2 days ago.
I will be doing a color change, thus sand blasting the entire car will be necessary, and my change will be to Plum Crazy with white interior.
One thing I have not located yet, the front eyebrows (the Aluminum frame surrounding the head lights - see foto). Any help will be appreciated.
Also need a set of front windows. The ones on now are for a coupe.
The engine is going to have a stroker kit from 440source to become 451. A subframe connector will also be added on and all mechanical parts will be repaired, overhauled or replaced as necessary.
Some items on this car are not correct and I have done much research and hopefully got my bearings right on all items:clueless:
The journey will be longish, not too long hopefully, but certainly very interesting. Hope you all enjoy it with me and please comment as you see fit.
I am keeping my photos to a low resolution in order not to clog up the mail when opening.
Regards to all and happy new year in advance.
