Part I: the restoration

This car is currently in the USA. It was imported from France in 2001 and its condition was very bad. Today, the owner has made some progress on his restoration work. He promised me to add more photos as his restoration work continues. So I thank the owner of this car for his nice contribution to my website.

"There has been very little progress on the restoration.  Rear of the car is basically done but there has been no progress on the front.  It will get finished over the winter however.  I really don't want it done right now as there is a lot of snow outside and I prefer not to have to move it until Spring."

"A lot more progress in past 24 hours.  I would think the car will be on the road in another couple of weeks.  Fuel system is now installed.  I got to the shop last evening.  The mechanic turned the key, pushed the starter button and the engine started immediately.  The front end has been installed."

"The car should be driveable shortly.  There's pretty much done exept for the clip-on stuff and paint.  I It's waiting for front brake parts and then the car should be on wheels.  The bigger wheels and tires are not installed until they get painted."

Many thanks to the owner of this Schwimmwagen in the USA.
