Cool to watch the progression. Hats off to you, save the W31....

Alain

 

Wow! that is clean! Looks like it should be a fairly "easy" Restoration.

 

They all have there special challenges
Alain

 

Good progress. Frame looks clean. It's always funny when you see how clean the metal is around the engine from oil leaks over the years protecting the frame.

Any tape over the body mounts? And this was a manual steering car?
