Ford g73a

The car was in a front end colision, and the front was smashed m so this is thepart of the front end...:




door glass is crackewd, I removed it and gave it to be be sample made for both doors. :



removed the window regulator , but it had weird screws that hold it.:



so i used this tool:



part of the dirt and rust on the window holder :



making the regulator move again after who know how long...:




started to repair the nose :



fixed the hinges , monts and the trunk lid is on :



parts of the bonnet were broken and left on the hinges:



that bit should go here.:





welded:D



the nose piece had a missing part, so a bit of paper, marker and some welding required..




almost there:



finish :



instead to remove the nuts that hold the fenders, they ripped them off :



so I made the pieces that were missing, removed the nuts ...



repeated the prossec on both of fenders to get this :



edges of the fenders were cracked... somebody tried to weld it, but it cracked...:



my welds don't crack ....

and the final product. noice RUSTY, GOOD RUSTY :







ITS GONNA BE A SWEET RAT ROD....

fuel tank is in great condition, just need some sand blasting and powdercoating:








fun fact, fuel sender isnt stuck and gives a reading

yuuuup

Wow a "bückel" (hunchback) Taunus. Don´t think i ever saw one in real life.

went to wash the interior with the power washer. couse you know, it cant get any worse, and i wanted to clean about 2 inches of mud.....

well, it got worse.. the driver side footwell was screwed in witha rusty steel panel that was screwed into a rusty and muddy flo.r so basicly when i pulled that out. the car simply folded xD

so i had to lift the car, and make the rocker panel and conect the part of the chassis that cracked and went under...



lifted the chassis, welded the cracks, and then proceded to weld a l profile to make some rigidity. after that, i removed the whole floor panel



went and made the floor panels and some l profils : D



just welded it , spot welded so it will hold , so I can put it on the wheels. but it hold so well , I can jump inside and the chassis is rigid. also , the driver side door now close and open...normall< <3



this is simply. left over rust





went to check the boxes of parts I got with the car , and clean what could be cleaned...



brake cylinder rubber seals. actually , after cleaning..mint condition



also , I have a question : What is this rear lamp from? can anybody gues? I only have one complete, and missing one lens, and I WOULD LOVE TO RETURN THEM ON THE CAR. FOR THAT MINTY CRAPPY LOOK.

window glass made.:



panhard bar on the front suspension is missing a rubber ..



seazed main brake cylinder....



screw on the brake cylinder on the front wheel is stuck. gotta get him out. ...



fuel tank and steel protection of the engine have been sand blasted. look mint and there is no hols in the fuel tank.....



bits and pieces galvanized...



fixed the codrivers window regulator, spot welded the parts...



front hood hinges nice and galvanized. :



detail of the instaled hinge.. :



the hood is real high when everything is installed. :



looks noice...

I'm pretty sure they're early Wartburg 311 lamps (the so called 'Schiffchen'). They're rarish and thus not particularly cheap though.
Here's a few for example.

This is really coming together. I didn´t expect it to look like a car quite so soon, judging from the first pictures.
What´s the plan for a motor? The original four?

Wow, so this rustbucket is really going to be a car again? Impressed at your effort and skill.

Great efforts there
