Hi all, few weeks ago finally I found a good platform on 40 series to start a completely restoration.
I suppose that few of you should recognize this 40 (belonged to a member of this community)

I must to say that the 40 serie is my weakness, I did few restoration of this models where I used to live, so when he offer me exchange my 80 series for his 40 I could not refuse (of course that a lot of people say that I'm a little crazy)

Ok, so the Idea first is start with Chassis and axles, then I don't decide yet is I buy half of new body or just the plates (ex ex owner fix the body but no so nice) because when they fix the body, on the rear part they cut one piece of the pates (quarter panel where the reflector goes) and also the inside wall is not well repaired (dont have a good looking)
but before all this I'm just starting to dismount everything on the car and like I say, start first from the bottom to the top, luckily I didn't found much rust .

Here few pictures of the new Toy. How it comes and how is going.

I saw this last summer. The seats looked very good. Nice to see how this start to progress.

Not much advance on the project, but now with homework office I have more time
Body out and start to remove parts from chassis to remove completely the Chassis for sand blasting, fix some rusty places (not much) and paint

Looks good.

Moving slowly but at least forward.
Lot of work at this point and still more coming
Chassis was sand blasted, fixed the rear part on the chassis, new spring supports and painted.

Axles front and rear rebuild with new oem rear brake plate. looks awesome.
Now finishing the brake pipes, fuel lines and electric wire to finish the first stage.

and the last ones, the result of lot of hours on the garage

nice

Engine got a good shower yesterday and its ready to reinstall on chassis.
Just a little of paint on the transmission. Looks awesome after 38 years
