Restoration of '64 Sunroof Coupe

Friends: Follow the Restoration of the 1964 356 Coupe that we have turned into a Sunroof Coupe. We are currently working on the transmission and engine assembly.
Let's see how the car looked like before the body and paint job:
 Original paint was silver but has been painted several times - at one point it was a light blue shade

As you  see the '64 coupe with still intact roof
 Original interior black leather seats and white headliner
 The sunroof top came from another '64 coupe, which was rusted out but had a good roof and welded onto car as customer's request

Fast forward several months in the body shop and after sandblasting, rust repair and fresh coat of paint the car is back at Personalized Autohaus. The new color is race silver and interior upholstering will be red. 

 Car is back at the Personalized Autohaus after the paint process
Restoration under progress. Check out front suspension! A-arms are original; they've been reconditioned and painted.
 Wiring under way.
 Rebuilt Transmission including Tall 4th Gear

  We will be posting more pictures after the final assembly of the '64 sunroof coupe. So stay tuned!
