…and cut the body.

The Left Rocker Panel
There was a hit on the left side and it is visible where the hammer shaped the metal. Parts 1, 2 and 3 are ordered and will be replaced.
The left part of the cross beam (antler) was hit and rotten. I will cut ~30 cm and rebuild it. I checked in TrabantWelt.DE (198 EUR) and Reich-Tuning (60 EUR) and sent a quote to Reich-Tuning and Danzer Autoteile with the question “Can you ship to Canada?”. They didn’t answer and i sent quotes with the same question to two or three eBay sellers. The answers i received were “No” and “Should i take your question seriously?”. You can find my list of online shops here.
The rocker panels will be replaced.
The Face
I have to invent a logic how to keep the position of the shock absorber domes while i replace them.
What is Next
- Get rid of the doors, leaned on the wall and other things to free more space in the garage
- Take off the gearbox, front and back suspension (to have only a fully naked body)
- Turn the body on 180 degrees to repeat the same operation on the right side
- Lift the body in 90 degrees to finish the cutting and welding on the left side (maybe i need to start with the shock absorber domes – top)
- Lift the body in 90 degrees to finish the cutting and welding on the right side
I don’t know the next step. If i were a smart guy, i would play chess 🙂
Glorious is the name of God.
