NAMCO are doing a body off resto of a C2 vette at the moment, and was interesting having a close up detailed look at a C2 chassis yesterday when at their party/open house. Was quite surprised at just how small a diameter the propshaft was!!
Oh, and that 4-dr Moggy Minor in the background had a small block in it
Would be more interesting to show the birdcage, as a frame repair is quite straightforward. Oh, and that 4-dr Moggy Minor in the background had a small block in it
IMHO its where the 'birdcage' bolts to the frame (just ahead of the door openings) that is the most critical area to inspect - its simple enough if the seller is happy removing 'kick' panels. Logic here being that if the mounting points are badly corroded fixing bolts could be terminally seized and associated corrosion corrosion affecting main chassis. Windscreen frame is upper part of 'birdcage' and frequently corroded but can be a fairly simple job to repair (if you call removing/replacing the 'screen a simple job..........
Gratuitous TA pic
Just to remind you of what a nice one looks like
This all moved forward this morning, the owner is going to get it up in the air for me, so I can have a good Ol’ poke round underneath,
And also going to get it all registered!
Seemingly a result!
I’ll get over in the coming week, if a can sneak out of work,

Hopefully the links work, the PH forum thinks part of the first link is a
emoji for some reason.

Yes it’s looking brighter now,
Obviously still could all unravel ?
But hey ho, Been pricing the likely parts cost
Ummm it’s not going to be a cheap repair!!
But until I’ve a much better idea of what I’d have to do and more importantly just what I’d have to replace
Ive estimated on the very bad side,
Hopefully I should know one way or the other very soon,
One thing’s for sure I’ve got to be careful not to view with me rose tinted glasses etc,
Bucket list or not this is a major undertaking
And factor in the potential decline in interest in these type of cars , it’s difficult now to predict just how much things could change over the next few years,
But yes it’s definitely looking promising
And please about your smoke disappeared
These old ladies have there funny little ways!
It’s all part of the charm
