Thank you Markus!
Hope here you don't mind my writing in english???
Unfortunately we found a lot of bad and terrible surprises especially with themetal parts.
The big problem were the hints of the doors.
Now i'll post some more pics.

And now the digits on the metal plate and the history of the car:
I need some help from you fellows for some of the digits and their meaning.
Here you can see:

Bild

First row: 570004 12246 DD 656 410
Second row: 3521235 661 694

As far as I know these mean as is:
570004 – the number of the production.
12246 : 12 - this means "Coupe"; 2 – left steering; car for export; 4 – Engine 1,7S; 6 – 4-manual gear box.
DD – this must be the color??? I'm not sure but I think the original color has been "Saharagold" :) Am I right or wrong???
656 – I'm not sure but this has to be the code for the interior color.
410 – ? ? ? ? ? Can someone help me what is this?

The second row 3521235 661 694 :
3521235 - As far as I know these show when the car has been manifactured in the plant ?
The extras:
661 – Lackierung; :oops:
694 – ? ? ? ? ? Can someone help me what is this?

Here is the metal plate:

Please stop restauration and lern German first :lol: ;) Just a joke. I think your welcome speeking english, too.

I would not have gone on with the restauration. Seems there is nothing what does not have to be fixed at your car :shock:

If you past the photos a little bit smaller, it is easier to look.......

Yes ,the situation with the Rekord is complicated.
Time is on my side, but money . . . . . :oops: :evil: :?
But nothin else matters.
I have more pics, but how to make them smaller for the forum ?
