Sidonia needs to be restored.

Here is the full story. When I bought the car I had not decided whether I wanted it as a donor or for restoration. I have two series one coupe's which are driven daily. A donor car is always practical. On the other hand it is exactly as I prefer it to be if I want to use it as a daily driver. I don't want to pay for a "good" car which has to be restored sooner or later, usually sooner if it is used daily in the Dutch climate. I prefer to pay less, strip the car, sandblast it, weld in new steel, put on expoxy primer, new paint system, triple anti rust treatment, zinc plate all bolts, nuts and chassis parts, overhaul engine, gearbox, brakes, steering, new upholstery with new foam and assemble with new rubbers.
Sills, floorpan and part of the wings have to be replaced. Doors and bonnet are steel. Bootlid is aluminium. Anyway, when I drove the car home I started to like her and named here Sidonia. When I arrived at the my workshop, I judged Sidonia to be a radiating car which . Thus stripping Sidonia for parts is no longer an option, at least for me. She deserves a new life. Since I have already two series 1 coupe's someone else has to take the responsibility to preserve Sidonia for posterity. Engine, gearbox etc need to be overhauled.

Price is € 1500 as it is. If we can do the complete restoration for you I will drop the price to € 750.
