Prosjekt Schrotthaufen 411E 1972 modell

Post by Cheron » 30th November 2010 - 8:51pm

Hello folks!

I have joined this forum because the are not so many of this car in Norway.

Here is a 411 from Norway. I have pick up the car and I have some plans for that car. But befor I can start use this car, I have to change clutch. Maybe I should weld some rust on the floor. I will use the car like wintercar :)

Some pics;

Here the car is parked in my workshop. To change clutch and fix some other small problems. Like heater and rust on the floor.

(Mobil pics, I forgot the camra home :( )

My english is not perfect, but I hope you will understand :)

Edit; here is my norwegian prosjekt tread;

Congratulations!. It´s a good unit of 411. And it´s a very good thing that the car has a tow bar. You can tow a little caravan in summer.

I know Norway. I was there in 2002, but I don´t remember your town. Is it on south?
Where is the engine?
