    Hey everyone! I recently bought not one but two Copens in a single sale. The previous owner migrated to another country and had to leave the project of making them into one behind. I plan to finish it up but I am gonna need some help probably.

    The one that is supposed to be going back on the road is a Dutch license car with a 1.3 and a beautiful red leather interior swapped into it. The other is a 660 parts car with a burned exhaust valve and without papers. I am trying to finish up the 1.3 and get it APK tested (Dutch MOT) hopefully within a month. It runs and drives but needs some repairs and bits and it's a bit more (c)rusty than I'd hoped but we'll deal with that when the time is right. Right now I have a leaky power steering pump, a broken roof ECU (probably linked to the soaked carpets under the seats...), some bits to put back on (obviously the front end but also exhaust and underside bracings) and a full service.

    I'm already finding out that it's quite hard to find information or parts for these cars so I might have bit off more than I can chew here, but I suppose we'll just have to chew it bit by bit then.

    Just figured I'd introduce myself before I start asking questions :) Everything that's left after I get the 1.3 done will be sold for parts so if anyone is looking for stuff you can hit me up.
