The second shell.

The "new" chassi will require a whole lot of work but then again it's a T16 and deserves to be saved

[PUG(z)OT]

big respect that you are willing to restore it

Respect

Is it an original T16 chassis?
or a normal one and then welding the T16 chassis number in the revised chassis?

[T16user]

In fact it's a T16 chassi that i found in Warsaw a couple of years ago. The car was a 93 model and was gradually stripped down after a transferbox failure. I was close to buying the engine back in 2002/3 so i'm familiar with it's history.

Progress is being made.

No update's in some time now but that does not mean that nothing is happening. The car is actually back on it's wheels. As you imagine the task of rebuilding a car from zero is enormous but slowly we are getting there. The plan is to send it to the paintshop in the next couple of days.

replacement front valance


and the latest purchase a brand new front valance and side skirts




brand new front and back chrome bumper insert's


humble clutch "upgrade"

Next step is the bodyshop for 4-6 weeks, then final assembly and testing.

i just love that intirior

do you have an partsnumber/ordernumber for that GAZ suspension?

[T16user]

Yeah the interior turned out really sweet but i want to have a go at ceaning the alcantara myself, first gently shave it and then clean it with swisswax alcantara cleaner i guess.

As for the suspension just send them an email and you will have an answer instantly they provide really good customer service.Choose your springrate and don't forget to order helpersprings cause they are not included. Perhaps the groupbuy is still on?

[T16user]

Just what I needed!!!

[T16user]

Ok so what the hell happened with the 405 T16 you might wonder? Well i ask myself the same question The problem has been to find a rear wing, NFP as a lot of parts nowadays. Believe it or not i ended up bying a third shell just to get a rear quarter
