hi dido and welcome to the forum

first of all i just want to tell you that you are one hell of a courageous guy - i don't think that a lot of members here (anyone?) would try to restore such a brutally rusted car. respect for that!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

for the shrinking you can find a lot of websites for example http://www.resizemypicture.com/?resize_multiple=1 or you might download a tool like the "windows power tools" (if you use windows xp).

best wishes from switzerland
mika

Hi Philip! From Romania? you have been close to Bulgaria ;)
Yes the floor of mine was in terriblecondition especially in front of left - the driver's position.
But we're ready with welding.
By the way I have this book scanned in PDF. But it's too many mb.

Yes it was fine. It was in late summer and everything was dry like in the south of romania too. I stayed in vama veche in romania, the old border to bulgaria. There is a villige called so. there are only rocker and party all day and all night at the black sea cost. It should be a trip for relax but after 5 days of wine and beer and party I was destroyed :-)
But it was fine in Bulgaria. The people and the food is nearly the same as in Romania, just the language and the leters are different hahahhaa
