Hey guys, just had to post this one.

All those Dutch SMCars visitors will know it for sure, but does the others here have a clue ?

DAF 66 YA

Haha, nice

[Pete-MJL]

Heheh, yep, Flash was first, but Zachary made it complete. It is an ex- Dutch army DAF 66YA .
Though it had a pretty rough life ( AFTER it was in the army that is ) in the hands of some local
rough-riders, it can be saved.

why did you rescue THIS

said revelli.
Well, it was either my backyard or the scrapyard, so I couldn' t resist taking it home...
It will make a fun vehicle in the summer months ( well, most likely NOT next summer )

66 indeed. Wasn't sure about it

[rallydriver]

Heh That´s nice. Have fun with it

[Pete-MJL]

Thanks rallydriver.
I removed some of the debris inside to see how bad it really is.
I knew the door sills need to be replaced and the floorpan didn' t look that promising, so now I know for sure this needs
replacement as well
Anyway, I bought myself a DAF 66 " Deluxe " to act as a donorcar yesterday.
It is complete and a runner, so the mechanical side will turn out ok. Paid 150 € for it. The 66YA was for free, so this is not an
expensive project so far.

The car should look like this: http://www.dafya66.nl/Dafya66.htm when finished, though I will give it a nice and shiny
civilian look.

This was the third vehicle that was offered for free to me this year. Heheh.
Before this, I got a solid Citroën GS Pallas ( sold it a week afterwards ) and an ex British army BSA B40 motorcycle that I am
restoring now.

2005 has been a good year

Hehe it's gonna look marvellous when finished I think Didn't these cars have a variator(?) or somekind of different transmission?
