Thanks a lot Mike, really kind of you and happy that you enjoy the journey here!

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:

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 !
