    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.

    Hi, Dat is een flink project.
    Wel erg gaaf. Ik heb ook recent een 1.3 Copen gekocht ben er erg blij mee. Mocht je toevallig een achterpoiler dubbel hebben (die heel is) dan houd ik me wel aanbevolen.

    ben je al betrokken bij de copen community in nederland?

    groeten Wouter

    Helaas heb ik maar 1 spoiler en die heeft een dik gat erin. En nee, die community ken ik niet maar klinkt als precies wat ik zoek! waar kan ik die vinden? Facebook?
