That is amazing. How did you find this gem?
What needs doing?
I have a 412 4-door
Good luck with the restoration
Mine is still work in progress!

There's a 'complete' 411 on ebay at the moment. Seems like a small project, assuming the brakes are working!
Another one comes out of the blue!

good luck - hope to see you and the car some time soon

I have some glass too. Hopefully the new owner will come here to see what we have.

That reminds me - I have a 1976 Devon in the back garden! Project number 3. Just waiting for some TIME!

not bad - just one patch on the end of the sill as it enters the rear inner wing. Really just need a few hours of time. Been spending too much time in Bulgaria - every holiday since the summer!! Going again at the end of next week. I have bought all the paint to give her a bit of a tidy up too. Flip...

yep - parts still here in various sheds

Yeah - I'll be there Shawn at one or two of the shows too. Can come out of hibernation now the sun has come back and finish the small job on the 411 that turned massive!

Bit embarrassing for a German to make a mistake like that!

You're getting as bad as me, actually you have got as bad as me!

Last night I was out in the garden at 9pm and it was still 18 degrees!

Pictures to come. Outer sill now done so only inner arch to do now. Then a load of filling to make it look good! Lucky with the weather.

Progress going well. Just the final lower outer bit of the sill to do then the bit on the inner arch. Almost set light to the car when a fire started on the inside! Luckily I had a glass of apple juice next to me....

I am kind of wishing I had chosen an easier colour as this metallic paint is tricky. It keeps leaving streaks but I can only see them once the lacquer goes on. You cannot sand the base coat before the lacquer as there are tiny metal particles in the paint that give it the glint. It's coming up reall...

Yeah - it's kind of scary what lies behind some innocent looking bubbles when you poke but at least when it's done, I know it should be good for another 20 years! The other side looks better. Good luck Dubster - let's see some pictures and compare notes.

Here goes - just a little poke with the dreaded MOT poking stick. He said it just needed a patch but then I came home and attacked it with and old screwdriver and a grinder. Mmmmm. The 412 restoration will have to be put on hold!!! http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv255/kps1970/411%20variant/rears...

Been busy over the past few days. The front end is coming together nicely!

some people think it is a hoax but I have found pictures that show how it works. I guess they are just too expensive but uber cool nonetheless!

Now here's a project for someone!

It's around £110 for a master cylinder re-bore if they have not put up their prices recently.
Make sure the petrol smell goes away before you start welding Dubster!!!!

I know it's not a type 3 or 4, but - wow!

Have a guess at the price before you get to the bottom - I guessed $45K and was way out!

Great news. Really looking forward to the big reveal.

still coming down!

Hi Jon - managed to source an engine lid - it's 80%. What is yours like?
Managed to get a NOS brown vinyl roof kit from the 70's on ebay £16 - RESULT!!!
So, no need to spend ages sanding and painting the roof and save on paint..
Got the bit between my teeth now

Well, now it's the holidays, I've started painting the project! Did the front valence today. Needs a few more coats then lacquer. It's looking good. Pictures soon. I have done it in Ford Solar Gold, a little brighter than the original colour. Thinking of doing a brown vinyl roof for that retro look!...
