Funny how when you own a certain make and model of car, other ones seem to find you. I had no idea this car was in Revelstoke. My sister lives in Sicamous, so I've scouted Revelstoke occasionally for cars.
You'll probably find the engine too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] In a ski boat in the Okanagan.

I am now on a hunt for the original motor which may still be in the central BC area.

Why don't go for the brunette at the same time, I would.

Wow! You guys are ambitious! I have served my apprenticeship restoring cars and with my back the way it is (and probably forever will be) I have to buy cars that either ARE done or don't need to be. That looks like a fun project, and with it really being a &quot;W&quot; car, is worth the time, money, and sweat you will invest. Good Luck!

Fellow SYC Members, its been 3 and 1/2 years since ai acquired this car. About two Years ago I brought it to my restoration guy Mark Nicol at Mark Of Excellence on Vancouver Island. I told mark that this was going to be a long term project as I had a lot of parts to source and there was a lot of work to be done by him. There had been progress, but its slow.
So I am reviving this tread with progress reports on the restoration.

All these photos are from the spring of 2015. There has been a lot of work done since the but I want to feed a continuous story with out delays. I had asked Mark not to leave the car outside as I was concerned about rust.

More to come every few days.
