yes, thanks!

it was a very hard roadtrip, the distance over 1300 km and all with trailer... :shock: but it was very nice to see the reactions of other cardrivers: honking, photographing, waving and :thumbsup:, that had made me proud... and the pain on my body was gone...... :D

the technical restoration will starts at the end of 2013... in the meantime i have worked with cosmetical repairs and buy a lot of missing parts. the most difficult parts to find was the torsion bars on both door sides. a new front bumper from a us seller arrived in the last days. as you can see, i will work on that, but is very expensive and difficult to buy all the missing parts. so i need the time...and the money.
stay tuned...

the car stands now in a local servicestation to proof and repair the engine, but this will take time because they have to repair the cars from everyday business. but it´s a good deal for me, because i dont have any chance to professionel proof (and repair?) the engine. the car stands in the showroom. :D
