my apologies i forgot to start by here, even i am a long time lurker.
I am Robert a Belgian , i live and work in rural Portugal, 1&half year ago i grab a old +8 (1983) with a rear ending damage and partially dismantled. Now with the help of a friend bodybuilder we are restoring it and in same she will become a Pick-up/beach car (think of FIAT 600 Eden Roc) i will use for tourist tours.
