I'd buy the other one as a cup 964 and having a rsr looker already, I would be a happy man with a diamond duo of the stern rots.
I like the strange and different just don't do cream leather too shabba tastic for me,bright colours and black leather is fantashtic for me but I suppose the amazon will be nomex and paint on the inside more leer(german) than luxury.


GAZ,

Progress has been moving slowly due to busy school half terms

Anyway, Amazon was ready to go legless! having kept her on her feet as long as we could keep her rolling around. Now the resto begins......

The rear suspension, arm and legs are easier to take off on the rear than the front as found out with the hugh help from my friend Steve J. He's used to helping me with my old VWs, with all sorts of rusted and ceased, if not rotted bits and bolts!

Please dont be put off by the closeup pictures of what am about to put up, lots of rusted bolts, grease and mud. The mobile phone camera pictures aren't very clear, the flash makes it look like rust, but its mud and grime really!

Its surprising when a car is stripped down either underneath or inside, how scarey it is to find all sorts creeping from all the shiney exterior metal of such an age car. Have you checked yours?

Anyway......


Swingarm with an easy long bolt


ignore the yellow strap


off she comes


thats it!

Things such as front anti rollbar, bush clamps, even all the bushes need replacing, will be nice building things up with new stuff! But there are signs of odd bushes been replaced through time. Didn't get a chance to take photos of every rotten bits, as things got busier!

Heres an example...


Yak!

Obviously Amazon was put on a temporary dolly frame to wheel her around for now, until a proper one is made for the next 964 project
