Hey guys & gals,
I was pretty impressed after stumbling on some of the posts on this forum, nice to see all the activity & enthusiasm - great job - so good, I figured I had to join too.
I've had a P6 'project' for a few years now, even bought a 'parts car' right afterwards - good intentions eh? Well shame on me for letting other things get in the way & jump ahead of it so I've not got much (anything) to show for all the time it's been sat in the garage. I'm hoping that seeing some of your (success) stories will keep me going until it gets too cold. Garage yes - heated - no
In the last few weeks I've just started to really roll up my sleeves get the deconstruction going in earnest. It's not a pretty sight right now with the driver's side (LHD over here) cut out & waiting for me to fabricate a patch & then learn to weld - I think I have a bit of sill rust to deal with too. Then there's all the panels hiding down in the basement - something to do in the dead of winter I suppose.
I've tried a little homework on parts and picked up some bits & bobs on Ebay over the years. I believe only about 2,000 were imported here back in '69-70. I'm not looking to go concourse or bankrupt here but I am thinking it will be a much more classy daily driver than an SUV could ever be. Now to pickup some bushings, rubber seals, shocks, springs...... I guess I'll start that right after rust, me the cuttoff tool & angle grinder get go a few rounds. Fingers crossed.
Good luck with your cars & projets,
Paul
