yesterday, I started disassembling the standard.
Took out the VERY nice interior: look at this, in stunning condition (only 1 small rip in the back seat)

Removed mats and interior panels. It's gonna be a big resto, lots of work but she's soooo much worth it :) This oval will be restored with the highest level of detail!
Oooh, I already scored a perfect W-deklid!

I already collected many parts to complete this resto.
engine-lid
2 doors(1 NOS)
1 rear fender
1 complete oval front (A-pillars included) ... Without work / rust!
Just a question for you all
Are these the [u]correct[/u] front fenders for my oval?
I want a car that's 100% correct, in every detail,
I guess so, 'cause the fenders have the same colour as the body (underneath the 2nd layer paint)

You weren´t kidding about having plenty to keep you busy!

I want a perfect restoration for my 53 standard,
so I'm looking for complete rear quarter panels. (the previous welder made a mess of it! :( )
Now, i want to know what the difference is between rear quarter panels of a late and an early oval.
The support?? or the edge where the bolts are in?
I want to know the exact difference...
Thank you!
