1966 Peugeot 404 Coupé Injection: built by Pininfarina, powered by a 1.6L Kugelfischer injected 404 engine, Nardi floor shifter for the C3 type manual. They're lovely cars to drive - 404s were my daily driver for 10 years through the 1980s.
I've owned this car for more than 28 years and I am having it restored. Mechanical work is being done at home; bodywork by Coachwerks in Victoria BC, an award-winning shop that specializes in 300 SL restoration.
November 26, 2016 - dismantling:
November 28 - NOS body panels to media blaster
December 7 - Shell on flatbed, on its way to the media blaster
December 20 - shell is back from the blaster
January 7, 2017 - floors removed
January 14 - floor reconstruction with NOS parts underway
January 20 - new suspension bushings installed, new hardware, repainted steel suspension arms
January 28 - left rear fender off, internal rust repairs underway, new fender skin ready, floors are completed
February 10 - both rear fenders welded on, internal repairs completed
