this is karls 67..doing some work for him...the beam, rear torsions, wiring, just pretty much getting it road worhty again...its really solid only rust in the battery tray but hardley anything..i believe its a euro 67 has euro headlight buckets and is still 6volt but has all the 67 parts rear decklid, apron and door handles..was reading up on the euro and this one does have a 130 tooth flywheel and a different shaft on the starter and no over riders on the bumpers and it does have a 1300 sp but im not 100% its really a euro 67... will post more pics once i get the beam done...

Finally got some free time to do some work on karls bug..felt bad, took about 3 weeks before i got some free time to actually do some work on it...coming along pretty good so far...got the beam done, and lowered the rear one notch..he didnt want to go any lower though...just wants a nice stance for a daily driver...the adjusters are only like a 3rd the way down...looks like it will buff out real nice too..nice to actually get out to the shop and do some work..just waiting on karl to locate some pop outs for the rear, pass window regulator and some window rubber and shes done back, on the road...

Good job I would just clear the car already stripped and save you tons of time. Mine was in the same shape and ended up just clearing it .buffing didn't get the gloss I wanted You can get a good clear for 100 bucks then you can color sand and buff it . Would look sick.

cool thanks for the advice vinny...would i need to just give it a wash before i put the clear on? or what kind of prep would i need to do? what type of sand paper would be best for color sanding?...havent really done much painting or body work...sorry for not hooking up and taking a look at your neon, i've just been really busy with work and the free time i do have i try to spend as much of it as i can with my daughter...sorry if i caused you any incovience vinny...i still have those reverse light for you too..

Its cool sam like I said your family comes first when you have a chance. If you wanted we can do trade work you look at the neon. And tell me what. I need to get it running good and I waii prep and clear the bug. Just by the supples.

how about this ill make some time for the neon, find out whats going on with it and give you those reverse lights..all you have to do is tell me what supplies i need to get..i really want to do it myself so i can get the idea on how to do it...just guide me in the right direction...you guys have helped me out so much already...by the way your car is the shit, i love that ride!
