I just have to finish welding the boot floor. and check over the whole thing.

I still have some modifications on the front of the car, because I need to figure how fix the front/fenders etc and check how high the engine is... Neutral

So body will be off, then I finish the chassis (suspension/brakes etc)

and body back on.

The car will not be painted, I'm after a real hoodride look. Natural rust and polished aluminiums with new rims. Wink

I will make a full custom interior.

Hey, we live in France, Silc...

that's no problem whatsoever... Laughing

And anyways, it's just an AMI 6 with the floors welded too high...

the rest is "stock" or at least, stock looking... Wink

JoZeF, Olli,

You're right, it is just a question that I was raizing. But what the hell, who cares about legal things? Laughing

I like what you do anyway. Looking forward to see more of this project.

A couple of small things :

Fuel filler, like on the Alfa AZU. used the stock AMI 6 filler tube with modern car fuel tank hoses picked up from the breakers :







One thing I didn't make on the new floors is the fuel tank sender hatch. I guess I'll regret that at some point... Laughing


Steering column support.

Made from the original support, a piece of 60mm steel tube and some 20/10 gauge steel plate. All bolts on to original support mounts under the dash. I'm just waiting for a friend who has a lathe to machine some plastic sleeves to slip into the steel tube for guidance.





I'll probably redesign my steering wheel too... I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot a little detail... Rolling Eyes

Hey Dule.

I've already started to straighten the metal on the face and rear fenders. The body will be as straight as I can get it.

Not at my garage at the moment.

I will have nearly 3 weeks at the end of next week, so I'm hoping to get the car "rolling"... I'm supposed to get the springs sometime around now ( Rolling Eyes ) so hopefully chassis and body adapting will be finished very soon.
