Very nice indeed! I'm curious, how does it drive after the rebuild compared to before?

Looks awesome, given me some inspiration for mine that is sitting in the shed in parts.
Just went through the whole thread and all I can say is MAGIC!! well done.
Beautiful work man! :bigthumbup: quite a admirable job you have done!
Just had a look through your build mate! Bloody nice job, it's turned out great, you should be proud of what you have achieved!
You have no idea how you have inspire us Pierre. This thread is a motherload of informations. Great job and a BiG Thank You for sharing your journey of restoration with us.
Awesome job mate!
Hi all,
Thank you very for your messages.
Best regards
Petit caillou
Any updates mate??????
Been a while
It is great to see someone being so completely thorough. That's dedication to detail that is not often seen. How did you deal with the rust inside the chassis rails and cross beams? I water blasted the inside as much as I could then sprayed the living daylights out of it with Fishoilene which is a great tried and true rust inhibitor. Its good for all hard to get to areas although I don't know if it is available in France.
Look forward to following your progress so the more pictures the merrier.
The end result should be amazing.

After researching this Gevarm Cournil 1978 it seems 5416 km on the clock, a Jeep T84 gearbox instead of the original gearbox UGO T18 borg-warner, there corrosion, but only to surface corrosion, a torn tarp to change, a bent door, scratched windshield breaks, the engine reattach to new media, it was time to start working to extend the life of this small vehicle, he made a trip to England and returned to 25 km from the house .
Once the purchase is made the way back was good, it was loaded on a carrier car.
I'll try to tell the story of this renovation in stages, taking pictures, I would have probably have questions, you can also have too, so we can share our passion, please.
The day of purchase

welcome back mate, looks like a very small project you have there this time round. So, you'll probably have it all finished by Sunday?????? hahahahaha
Well done on the Nissan. If this new project goes half as well it will be fantastic. Bon chance. Cheers,
