Rear view of the unrestored bubble coupe frame

Driver side suspension with the original linkages. Seems like the brake hose has been replaced?

Black beauty is now taken apart ready for the soda blasting. Very solid body with some corner rust spots and a large hole on top of the engine parcel shelf in order to gain access to the engine.

Rear view of the solid body but we will see after the shell has been cleaned.

Isetta body on its nose which is the most stable position for the Isetta shell.

Underside looks good but without any major rust issues. Will have to take out all the smaller items including the wire harness etc

Side vie of the body. Not sure why the engine panel metal tap is missing in order to hold the panel onto the body.
Will have to use one of my old tabs to make sure that the engine panel does fit proper into the body opening

Backside of the none deluxe bubble window Isetta door

Side view on the frame with the ceramic header coating on the muffler and header pipe.
Still few more hours to go.

Bubble frame being finished out with new everything. Yes I worked on three chassie at the same time. Two slider coupes and one bubble coupe. It does get tight in my back building at the lake but a good technician can manage to built three cars in the smallest place. Will have all three frames moved outside soon.

Engine view on this bubble frame.The split rims are freshly chrome plated the way the customer wanted them

Metal band around carb hose are still missing as well the fuel over flow and main supply line.
Will add those after the body is installed and engine is running

We worked hard getting all three frames done at the same time.
The body shells are still at the painter and should be back very soon.
This was a nice assembly line indeed and it does makes sense if more than one Isetta has to be restored at the same time
Jory's bubble window frame is at the front easy to spot by the horizontal shock system

It took a while moving these into position but when do you have three frames done at the same time. it was worth the effort moving them around

Now I'm in a boat in order to take this picture. Not sure why I have done this but it looks good so far as longest the deck holds the weight.Oops the last pole already looks out of shape!
That would be something if these frames would have been rolling into the lake!!

Other view of the freshly merged Isetta body shell. Looking better every day

Front view of the Black beauty.

The chrome does really pop on this color.
I have not seen another Black Isetta only a Black BMW 600 which looks really nice even that BMW never offered this color for both Isettas and BMW 600 models.

Side view of the dash board all aluminum lights and the chrome rings are really standing out on the Black dash

Now the turn signal high low beam switches are installed. The aluminum covers are chrome plated.
Used Black knobs instead the ivory colored version.

No windows interior installed.
We do not need those items for the Test drive.
All the controls levers etc are installed and can be inspected or corrected if needed.

Original Albert mirror black steering wheel with a polished steering wheel hub and a black horn button to match the rest of the interior

Another view from the rear.
All Windows will be installed by the customer.

Some details are left out because the customer wishes to complete the rest of the restoration. That way he was a part of the process which I agree

Interior panels installed as well the top.
Inside mirror added but glass and seat will be installed by customer.
Waiting for the transporter to haul this beauty back to the customer.

Gray interior panels with a matching darker charcoal
colored map pocket was selected by the customer and installed by a local upholstery firm shortly before transport.
