Assembling and final tests
Quite a lot of metal has dropped down during dismantling.
Disassembled parts are kept together grouped as far as possible according function group for further detailed inspection and repair.
Probably it will be possible to restore brake booster, but master cylinder in any case for safety reasons we should replace.
Dismantled parts are stored into separate boxes according to function groups for storage until further actions.
Whole wiring is removed from the engine compartment and body. Some of the wires are showing signs of burning, some others have lost insulation layer.
Engine compartment prepared from "ponton" disassembly.
Passenger compartment stripped down - we can start to install internal support frame.
Car is brought to lift for bottom inspection and running gear disassembly.
Rear axle removed. It seems complete; just all elastic elements are outworn. Unfortunately supports of trailing arms have been separated from the body and we will have to restore those important fixing points according to factory drawings.
Front suspension opposite to the engine appears complete and not damaged
We have started preparations for body processing. Lack of rear reference and support points makes this task a bit unusual - we shall modify our adaptor accordingly.
Before doors and coupe roof are removed from the body, there's built support construction in the passenger compartment ensuring all remaining body panels stay in place during restoration course.
As last elements from the body are removed control pedal assembly and hand brake control handle with release mechanism.
We start disassembling running gear big units. First gearbox and clutch are disconnected from the engine. Appears that clutch and clutch housing both are in relatively good working condition, even oil leakage through front sealing hasn't been dramatic.
As next engine carcass is removed from mounts - until now we do not have plans to work on it, though seems technically it could be possible to bring it back to the life.
Interesting discovery - this might be original still survived "MADE IN SWITZERLAND" Firestone white-wall tyre delivered together with the car. It is survived, but in no case this one shall be used on road... On the inner surface of the wheels we can see boring original manufacturer paint and production check marks.
List of the required spare parts.
Having at our disposal rather detailed information about technical condition of the car gathered during disassembling of the vehicle we have prepared initial lists of necessary spare parts. Probably there would be needed some additional parts due to hidden defects which may be discovered during further disassembling of components - we do not know yet real condition of the gears, shafts and other specific components in the gearbox, main and steering gear. From the outside we can not judge also condition of the damaged gearbox rear cover and housing of rear axle. At the moment it is clearly visible that bearings and seal rings, as well as all rubber mount parts are worn out.
