203 Fourgonnette 1958 restoration

[Martin Kropik]

Dear friends,

another project I am currently working on is my 58 Fourgonnette, which I want to keep in this condition. The whole underbody has to be replaced, but the body should remain in its original condition. Everyone who has ever done something like this knows that I don't advance as fast as I would like to. For 2 years it is already standing on the lifting platform. I hope I can finally finish the rust work this year.

Will you build the geometry of the body on the floor or on the body?

On the floor and on the wheels.

Martin,

That looks like a well setup workshop. A two post hoist? Now I am envious...

The panels, are they from Pascal? If so, are they a straight fit with minimal effort?

Look forward to updates.

Dano

Dear Dano

Please excuse the late reply. Because of all the Corona stuff, I don't get to work on the Fourgonnette any more.
Yes, I bought the 2-post hoist a few years ago because I'm getting older and don't always want to work on the ground.
I got the inner sills and the floor from Pascal and they fit really well.
I also did my pilot's licence during that time and fly my biplane whenever the weather permits.

It is now winter and cold here and I hope to be able to continue working on the Fourgonnette in March.

Kind regards an happy X-mas - Martin
