(go through the headlines, unfortunately it is in Czech only, so is our main website www.rotanazdar.cz (you might be interested in section "Veteran klub" where you find our other vehicles devided in the four sections on the left)
We have bought a running engine in the USA fot the TA which is waiting to be shipped over soon. We had to cut off the post war modification at the rear and now trying to work out how the roof section should look like right. The vehicle was sand-blasted and primed in special primer that allows further welding. There is still lots to do, but if everything goes all right we can get it to a driveble state this year.
We are looking for a Service Manual for this car though, so if anybody would have one for sale or be willing to make a photocopy or scan, it would be of a great help, as we need more information to get further. You can PM me or write on dusanklavik(at)seznam.cz Thanks.
