Haha clear :drink:
 
Couples of posts and the thread is sidetracked AGAIN!

Damn, for once we have one more good project going on, can we stick with it?

Just My opinion!


OK now back to the build, Tuomas, is this the chassis DTM had for sale not long ago?

This is one great chassis for a C3.

Can't agree more on the derailing.
Speaking of chassis, why choosing this one over, like, SRIII chassis?
 
Great thread - and a heap of work!

If I may "back up a page." Do you (or anyone else) have any details of the FIREWALL removal?:fishing:

That is my next step. Nearly done with the IRS and it's subframe.

SO, the firewall goes next - and Tubing the interior - but that should (hahaha) be easy!

Cheers - Jim

sorry guys, this thread did not even make it to page two without getting way off topic..... although we really don't like moderating or sanitizing threads here I removed the posts that have nothing to do with the topic, this way it's simply cleaner and easier for others to read and follow this awesome restauration :thumbs:

Yes it's the same chassis!!
 
Does anyone know, does any shop have available or manufacture stock replacement center rocker channels for bird cage??

Example ZIP has only inserts.. see link:

I know that Zip has the seat belt reinforcements for the birdcage,(they are the angle part welded to the inside floor of the cage) and the inset, but I couldnt find nothing about the rocker replacement.

I read about Caledonia, in Michigan who makes frame parts.

I dont think they have a web site and this is an add I found about them
