So, how much did this all cost you Dreja?

Body repair (welding, repainting, etc.) about 1900 eur... My account is deep in red numbers now

That is cheap!

Christ I wish I could find someone to do mine at that price

Update:

Starter is repaired. A have cut my hands several times to put it in and out the engine bay - I hope I won't have to do it again.

The starter had a problem of getting "stuck". The gear wasn't always jumping back, so the car cranked also after the engine started.

It was the similar problem then also Jan Pedersen encuntered, this is "eaten" (galvanized) contact B+ as seen in the picture.

I'm actually beginning to believe that the weak old type starter engines are better than the reduction starters of later 4age's. My simple old starter is so damn easy to take apart and fix, and although it doesnt have oodles of power to spin the engine, my car always fires up within the first 2 or 3 revolutions. I never have to change that little part either..

Whoa! just wasn't paying attention on your project Dreja!
The car is looking really great after the repairing. Congrats!

Tnx,

yesterday I have dismanted the left tie-rod, as I have to change the rubber boot of the steering.

I wanted to change it also on the right side, I can't unscrew the toe-in adjusting screw, it seems that the rust has glued it togheder with tie-rod. I can't even move the screw

Try soaking it in WD40 for a night or 2...

[dreja]

I have already sprayed it with wd40, I'll try to make it wet for a longer time...
