Engine is restored. Although with abt. 90.000 KM not needed, everything is 26 years old ... so the head was removed and everything is new now. I won't desfribe what happened but it was done good.

Although I bought the car with 90.000 KM's, I never knew if this was true or not .. but the prices was ok, even though if the KM's were not original. A check at the NAP (km registration in NL) learned the KM's could be original and after removing the head I now know for sure ... there was no sign of wear whatsoever. Everything was so perfect clean and original it had to be original KM's ...

I will post some new pictures soon ...

Any news on the new pics?

Yes, the car has been painted:











I am very happy with the paint job, it is not 100% perfect but I doubt someone will ever get it 100%, I will always find little things ... but it looks great, I also want to use the car on the road, not strore it under a cover in the garage ...

Work to make the car ready for use will start soon, will have to think what I would like to replace with new stuff and what not. I really want to use the original chrome strips etc. but then you have a fresh painted car with old and used chrome the same for all other things, can't buy everything new!

Finally

Congrats on the new paint job Tjaard, Hope to see the finnished result soon

Great stuff mate, its looking lovely !

Nice color for this day...(for the non-dutch: Queensday = orange).

Is it finished before 13-06-09? you're welcome at our insurance taxationmeet.

Although it looks ornagne, it is Hennared. In real life it looks red.

I don't think it will be finished in June, more likely around August - September.

eventhough you're still welcome..
