+++UPDATE+++

Yesterday I found a few hours to work on my car!
Here are some pictures...

First I cleared the engine compartment and took of the fenders. No rust, wohoo!



After that ein took out the hole chassi and cleared the interior.



Well done! After that successful day I took this picture of my little brother and my sisters boyfriend who worked on a Vespa 80 Spezial and helped me well when I needed a third hand. Thanks for that!





And sorry, I live in Germany. But if you want I can send you the caps also to italy or portugal. :wink:

[.:Aggi:.]

Nice Project!
Derby`s are cool cars but really rare i think.

Cant wait to see mor pictures!

Thanks a lot aggi!
(In Germany) you find "many" Derbys like mine! It´s a Derby2...they are not as rare as you might think! :wink:
The Derby1 are rare! Derby ones looks like this beauty!



But for now back to my project!

I can´t wait to instal some parts on my unfinished car!

The oldschool stering wheel...



The Strutbar in the front...



And in the back...



I also demounted the windows and nearly the hole inside stuff of the car!



The suspension:
It´s still lying arround at my tuner´s store. He doesn´t find any time to instal the springs and the new wheel bearings.

The Rims:
I wait and wait and wait...but the packet with my color won´t come.

I indendet a lot for the coming weekend. Till then...be smart, drive safe and stay legal!

2 days ago I bought the rims. They looked a little bit mad, course nobody cleaned and polished them up for the last 2635years!
So, there´s the effect of 2 minutes brushing and cleaning!

See you next time, Roman

Can you be more specific with the tools and other additives/creams you used to manage that ???
Thanks

On the first pic (the before/after pic in one) I just brushed it with P2000 wet paper and polished it up with with a clean cloth and metal polish cream.

But if you want a finish like it is 3 posts under, it´s a lot more to do!
I started to brush it (dry) with P150 paper and gone up to P400 (P150 --> P240 --> P400). Then I gone over to the wet paper. Began with P600, over P1200 up to P2000! Ony that takes you a few hours if you want a perfect result!
Then I bought a polish homework set for 10bugs from the trade center. It´s a disk you can put in your drill and a polish wax. It´s simple but the result is amazing!
If you make all that very proper, you will get a very very good result and know why the professional polisher takes a lot of money for that work. :wink:

Yesterday I mounted the old new rims and the engine! I thought the car would be much lower.





And it will look like this when there are 120kilos extra in the back!

[.:Aggi:.]

Looks really cool with those rims!

But i think you should lower it a bit more :wink: Did you change the suspension or is it stock yet?

Have you already decided in which colour you paint the car?

[banpei]

I think the car will become a bit lower when you refit the windows and other stuff. But I think the 120kgs in the back already pointed that out.

Nice car, on of my m8's just bought a mark 1, for the astonishing price of 3800 Dkr, about 500 €, with one owner history.
