The first pic is of the old fool that is responsible for all this nonsense

This little car i brought home getting 5 or 6 years ago from Pincher creek alberta . same as my rotary powered bike build from a few years back I will build or repair if possible and only purchase parts new that wear out or just cant be sourced any more. the front left bumper and fender were squashed in almost to the inner wheel well. the interior is in pretty nice condition except the left floor pans and carpets . The carpets had enought pieces left to be able to make some good patterns so we made them with a nice light automotive carpet by the foot and made my own including a finished edge . will put some kind of sound and heat barrier under carpet . If anyone is needing set of floor carpets for the wagons we could make them for you . Just pm me . we finally have the body close to doing the body filler after a bit more dolly work on the fender we will go ahead with that . all new brake components except fot the master cylinder that we will just clean and hone a very little bit . need a right hand radio **** to get the dash components back to original look. .the little car has the alcohol cold start which all seemed to work . The fuel tank is full of very large chunks rust and dirt almost looks like it had a health bit of dirt poured into it so will either build a new one which wont be to bad considering that I dont intend to carry spare tire underneath so a even rectangle tank is very possible with the original mounting brackets attached. want to change to a nice 4x100 set of chrome wheels . the paint will be as original as possible without doing the under hood . led tail ,reverse and side lights . I will post more pics soon as I have gained a bit since we took these ones. anyone with some ideas or just to chat please feel free to post . once again i would like to thank everyone that helped me out with my bike build . hope everyone has a healthy year . thanks for checking things out . Gerald

 

just a few shots

 

different stages . working on the front left now . the worst area by far . If we can make this part good .the rest will be pretty easy the little car sat for 20 some years before I rescued it with the rear window on passengers side was half open so the seat pan is poor . we could do something maybe with fiberglass but found a new one at Riggs in Edmonton alberta As faras rust i did the floor pans on the drivers side and just a small patch each side just behind wheel well

 

The little engine turn over when I bought it , when we got it home removed the little 12a engine and removed all apex seals and side seals then reassembled the engine just so there was no marks from parts touching the housings and side plates because I knew at the time ,, (about 6 years ago ) that it would be a while before I got my shop built and heated and all the rest .

 

Can someone please tell me why my thread in old school is locked . dont feel very welcome in this forum anymore

 

This looks like a pretty cool build thus far Gerald. Keep us updated ....
I think I remember this car from Pincher Creek way back ; just couldn't get to it back then . Glad it has found a new home . Is it a 4 speed car or Auto ?
Cheers
