Restoring 8M6-000265
I have been thinking of this for a few years and yesterday I took the frame inside my garage to clean it and evaluate the work to be done.
It has been sitting outside bare without any protection and the 2 struts are rusted and unusuable. By chance I have extra ones but today I will try to take off the rusted ones, every bolt is seized. Wish me luck.

Re: Restoring 8M6-000265
The project is delayed cause the bulkhead seems not to be in line with the tunnel.
Anybody knows where to find a traight bulkhead near Montreal. Let me know.l

Re: Restoring 8M6-000265
I could not get the bulkhead from Mike cause too big for shipping and becoming too expensive for a bulkh.. so I decided to buy a complete chassis.
I should have it in spring. In the meanwhile I bought a 91 (88B) with a broken motor. But that is another project.
