Nice work!!
Could you tell me where you sourced the hydro e-brake from?

Hi flat6heaven,



Yes, Dzug/Kosmal set up. Ford coil.

VERY cool, though I was hoping to be the first in Europe with that setup ;-)

I am following your progress with great interest, keep up the great work Alex.

Thanks for sharing,
Ben.

I have to ask. what is the benefit of a hydro-ebrake? Thanks for enlightening me.

Sooooo nice! Best of luck and can't wait to see the finished product. What color orange is that? My '74 is Signal orange and that looks awfully close....

who cares about "work"!?
'cmon! we want picture of that beasty orange (jump) !!

The wiring loom is being finished.
Not so many interesting pics at this time.

Next week I will have the loom finished at the interior.
New dash panel will be assembled. This I think will make some good pictures!

After this, car will follow to the bodyshop to assemble the heated windscreen, side Plexiglass Windows and rear Plexiglass screen.

Bumpers will also be assembled at this time.

So, I think some interesting pictures are about to come.

Ok, as said before, car is ready to leave to the body shop.
Here is how it looks:

honestly, such a nice built, so clean, so ingenious, so individual, so tasteful.
if it was mine, I could just look at it, didnt even need to drive it.
such builds are "art" (e.g. like the one from chris or the one from leichtbauar).
