'79 308 restoration

Would it be possible to turn your project into its own site within this site? with all the pictures and posts and whatever comment you would feel like adding.
It would certainly be a fantastic source for other 308 owners.
My email addy is [email protected]
if you have a "group email" to people interrested in the pics, may be you can add mine as well.

Thanks very much,
Helmut

 

Paul, I can host and make a website for you if you want.

 

I just moved my 308GTS into my garage and am about ready to tinker.
You can imagine how that makes you my new best friend
If needed I could resize pictures in photoshop to make them fit your website eehh I mean the one matteo is helping you with

I can't view the images, do I have to be a paying member on this site?
Is it a Mac issue?

Helmut

 

Helmut,
I'm a Mac guy, and I can view all images just fine (except the ones lost due to the site crash!)

Macs rock! We can do things PCs only dream of... (oh no--Now I've started something!!)

As far as I know, there's no fee involved to be a member on this site. I'm a member, and it's free. Maybe there's a fee to be a subscribed member, whatever that is..

I managed to view the pics by deselecting "show images and attachments" in the option control panel... interesting

My 308 is dripping with jelousy, he has actually mentioned to move to canada I believe
Did you sandblast the frame? and powdercoat it? or is it painted. How do you make sure the rust won't come back, I have heard that can be an issue.

How many miles are you going to say that this car has on it once it's done?

I'm very close to taking mine apart, oh NO...lol

Paul, where do you buy all those rubber bushings that are in the steering mechanisms, as well as in all the arms etc. in the rear. Please excuse my lack of knowledge of the correct terms of each part. I finally got my 78 308 on jacks today and am ready to clean this puppy. I can take pics to show exactly what I am talking about if necessary.

Also any more pics of your project will be treasured and studied in depths
My 308 is deeply grateful!

Thanks,
Helmut

 

..... I finally read everything on this thread and I got the answers on the sandblasting

 

I would also be interested in knowing who your parts suppliers are in Toronto? Especially for your engine parts. You can PM me with the names and phone numbers.

 

newman,

check your PM

 

I have started working on the site.

I need the old pic's and to clean up the formatting and such.

I just have the basic posts.

here is the temp link

I registered http://www.newmans308restoration.com but the DNS will registration will take awhile so use the temp link for a few days.

 

Newman (or someone else)

Could you please post pictures that show the location and extent of the rust - thanks!

 

Any progress?
