First post, and first Borgward.
Fist thing to do is to gather information so I have tons of questions to ask and I hope some one can give me some light or directions.
Car needs :
1.- Complete new floor
2.- Seat cross members
3.- Rockers
4.- Grill
5.- Fuel pump rebuild kit or electrical pump ?
6.- Suspension bits
7.- Disk brake upgrade ? ( from a mercedes ?)
8.- side trims
9.- headlights assembly
I got the car yesterday and of course has a lot of rust so we want to tackle the structural parts first and then move to the outside panel so first thing will be to make the engine run ( it cranks) and then do brakes and order the sheet metal parts if there is any available.
I'm in Canada and the person that I bought the car told me that he quoted the sheet metal from germany I think but I haven't be able to find where so I can get some quotes, Dunno if in USA some one makes them or not ?
General questions :
Any wrecking yards in the USA where I can find parts for this cars ?
is it worth it to convert it to 12v ?
Shifter seems stuck, any tips on that ?
Ok, that it for now.
Thanks.
