Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 18, 2007 indeed, i could happily spend my days doing that btw, i started work on my window lastnight, drilled the old rivets out the old mech, job looks quite straight forward now i can see how it goes together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted May 18, 2007 "ah yes, mr makela auto tuning, please build me a red and white car from scratch. you should try to manufacture every part yourself. i have some scrap metal here that you might like to use for measurements.... i think it used to be a toyota??" amazing result but i think its a push to even call that a restoration, the only original bit looks to be the chassis and probably half of that was cut out and rewelded by the looks of it??! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanut 0 Posted May 18, 2007 proper refubrishment, not just replacing with new parts off the shelf truly amazing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Nuts... And how much research went into that too? Just because you renew doesn't mean it's not a restoration.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Damn they are really really good. Love the way they scan what is left of the original stickers etc and then reprint them!! Mind you at around 435,000 euros for a finished product it had better be that good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 18, 2007 my mate says: That exact car is downstairs in our museum. They most have done it as a project for us. Or maybe that is a replica of a famous car that we still own but K-AM 6321 is downstairs that's in Koln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
