This is my project that took almost one year and it's still not quite finish. I did everything myself, never restored earlier a car. It was fun and took about 400 hours work.

Building an old car beats watching television for example 
Then again 404 is very beautiful car by Pininfarina. American V8:s are not my thing... They are big and noisy

Not really. Original blue is darker. This is actually 60's Renault blue. I chose it because I think it looks a bit fresher but sametime it's from the same era.
And yes it's very satisfying indeed now especially when I can drive with it!

Anyway, you did a good job, that's for sure a beautiful car. Did you restored it as the original (except the color)?

Thank you all for your comments!
Yes, everything is pretty much original but naturally it's impossible to get every part from 60's so I had to replace few tings from moderns parts but all of these things are "hidden". Ebay was my friend with this project, so I could order parts from England, Germany, France, Argentina, USA, Israel... 80% of parts however I got from Finland. I also repaired a lot parts instead of getting allways new one.
I thing that what one man can do another can also. This was a great learning experience!
