    Me too Peter, hopefully in a couple weeks now !

    So, we have the next update..






    Yes it's back on its wheels and trust me, what a big step after all these frame repair!! Motivation got really high in a couple minutes!!

    I directly started to put back some stuff like engine bay seals:


    And the short stainless steel lines:

    We got some colors!!
    I decided to make it a bit unconventional and paint a couple parts first to allow me to move forward with the build..
    So here some fresh paint!!




    And then I could build the fresh air box, the wiper system and the tank back:


    And here:


    And the engine is back in:


    Now to connect everything, and try to start it again..and of course body paint/building of all parts.. it will move fast now, I want it on the road in june !
