Basti came over 400km down from Hannover (one way!!!) to help 24 hours at the project. It was a long and hard night.
We made a very big step and had a lot of fun with pizza, beer and fast food...

Now i think the lowlight has the perfect stance to drive it.

Thank's Basti for your experience and all your help!!!

Pics of the fishished car on tuesday (if it ready to drive to the MCM in Hannover)!

Very nice car indeed.  I'm restoring a 1957 KG as well (since 2001!!!) and seeing a car like this really gives me courage to go further.  I took some pictures as well...

I saw that car in Hannover. It's just amazing. I really like the overall look and the stance is just perfect.

I love that paint job, can you tell me the exact color?

My girlfriend gives me one month time for finishing. It means no date's with her (and no sex too...), just telephone calls meanwhile im worked on the car 9 hours after my job, seven day's a week. It was a really hard time, and she is an amazing girl...
