This is Sven's 1973 that if you have been tracking,
has had some MAJOR surgery.
The last update showed a completely restored and ready for final assembly, pan. I left
a couple of them up.
We have recently taken aim at the body. So much so, that here he is on hangers with a heavy coat
of primer waiting to get blocked and redied for PAINT!
With the exception of the all the mechanical work, (Engine,
Drive Train, Breaking etc.), we are getting to a point where it will be time to work on this car with 'white gloves' as most
of the major components are clean and ready for assembly.
So, the process of installing the restored beam, rear transaxle
and tubes and brake assemblies will begin - short order! Let's get "him" rolling once again!
This is going to be one
really nice 1303! OG!

the luggae are, Etc.!

...
and of course, we had to get the pedal assembly disassembled, cleaned, and restored prior to paint! Done Deal. Take note
of the front tie rods and ancillary components. Done Deal... again bolt them up!!!

In
the past 6 months, there have been a few "first in line" events for the Kafer. I found this photo in the archives, he is FIRST
in line at the blaster! Going in before the gullwing...

Miscellanious
blasted items like the hood, decklid, tank, etc. Ahhh.. dealing with CLEAN stuff is ALWAYS a major milestone!
