Mach 1 frpm Europe -Czech republic

[mach172]

Hi all,

apparently I spot this website on the internet and looking to join the community.

I am owning a 72 Mach1 since February 2008. I live in Europe - Czech republic.

(You can imagine how this kind of cars are unusual here )

My car was a non-runin project imported in 2008 from US. Originally 351 2V. Now equipped with 302 only. I am working to complete it to a runnin stage. I alredy done all bodywork replace all front subframes, aprons, floors, taillight, rear quarter panels, fenders hood, etc. Done engine, tranny rebuild, all interior testoration.

Last weekend , I have painted the body already in pewter metallic (original color).

Next weekend I'll finish a hood blackout and lower body black stripes.

Reassemebly will follow up over the winter so hopefully next year will be Finlay running back on the road (40 years anniversary after the car was actually produced at Ford

Few pictures bellow.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Nice work you´ve done there. That car sure was crispy!

Thanks for the posts, Sure it took me 2 years to finish bodywork. Honestly the car has to be welded from front to rear and top to bottom. I will be more than happy to post some new pics about the progress in coming days.

Welcome to the forum from Virginia. Looks like you put a lot of hard work into the restoration. Thanks for sharing the pictures and will be looking forward to seeing more updates. Are there any other 71 to 73 Mustangs in your area?

I remember the Trabby's when the wall came down. They were rolling road blocks on the autobahn.

This is Alice again. Highjacking 101. I tried to do a research on what was the biggest engine I could put in a Trabant without success. My dream would be to stash a V8 in there but I don't think it's possible, ha ha. I just need advice from someone who doesn't conduct business in German since I am only superficially fluent in that language and all of the trabi forums are in German (AND even with the assistance of Google Translate I fail, ha ha). So yeah, I love me some Trabi and I wish I could have one and turn it into a bad mofo of a car, ha ha. Maybe put a Cleveland in there
