The Goggo had had a great deal of work done on it before I got my hands on it. At least one of the previous owners had possesed a welding outfit and had not been shy about using it. They had been imaginative and creative in their work and had felt no compulsion to stick to the old-fashioned construction metods of the car’s original designers. This picture of what I found after cutting away most of one of the front wings is fairly typical:
The wheel wells had been patched with a multitude of different scraps of metal (all now rusted away) and in places the floor was three layers thick:
Unfortunately for me, the aforementioned previous owner had taken so much pleasure in his work that he had welded the body shell firmly to the chassis instead of trusting to the system of nuts and bolts that the car’s designers had originally equipped it with.
