About myself: I am a german soldier stationed in new mexico in the near of Alamogordo and my english is not perfect, so i´m sorry for any wrong written words Embarrassed 
just have one year to get the car ready for Germany and i´m really happy to found this forum with all the great ideas and helps..

Hi Patrick,

willkommen im Forum. Dein Torino macht auf den Fotos aber einen guten Eindruck. Was fehlt ihm denn?

Schöne Zeit in den USA.

Thank you all!
 
to GT72: Danke Dirk. Der Wagen an sich ist fahrbereit aber man merkt das 42 Jahre nichts gemacht worden ist. Grade an der Karosserie. Wird eine rund um Erneuerung aber es macht einfach nur super Spaß den Wagen kennen zu lernen :) 
 
Grüße aus New Mexico
