Borgward Car Club of Australia

When Rolf saw this Coupe parked in the paddock he fell in love with it. It's a coupe from 1960.Little rust and the engine is still turning. Interior is fine. Overall quite an easy restoration
Isn't she beautiful ?

Well after dismantling all body panels I found so much rust that I even considered to look for another body. But after

revisiting the body it was not too bad and started welding .... ..... every weekend for 6 months.

Here are the results:

Before	Location	After
	Driver's Floor
	Driver's Sill
	Passenger's Floor
	Passenger's side (back)
	Driver's side (back)

Finally I can start restoring the mechanical parts and after 6 months of welding I indeed enjoy it very much.

Now the engine and the front end needs restoring. See how long this takes ?

After three years of restoration I'm so close of finishing the car. Rob & Roy from Balranald Panels - NSW finished the rest of the body work as well as the paint job. Only the mechanics need to go back into the car and then I should be able to take the car for a drive. I already get excited about it

Here are some pictures of Rob & Roy's fantastic work.

	The roof certainly needs some work. Someone must have been jumping on it,
	Working hard over the xmas and new years break
	I couldn't believed my eyes when they sent me the first pictures showing the roof of the car
	The door looks excellent as well.
	After a couple of months working daily on it I was able to pick the car up. I was like a kid in a candy shop. They have done a fantastic job and I was very impressed with they quality of work
	Back at home I started to put the crome part back on the car
	as well as a new roof lining and the reconditioned seats
	It does start looking like a car again.
