Hello Friends,

many thanks to you for watching my site :D

Actually, weather is too bad, to build in the cleaned engine with the overdrive.

But: I'm still alive and the project is going on soon.
My first target (after the german TÜV) for the test ride is a visit in sweden for an oldtimer meeting.
Then, I think, I can start the trip for what I bought this autohome.
I want to see gibraltar.

Keep on watching.

Regards
Jürgen, also IngBilly

OK, doesn't matter, I'm able and willing to learn :idea:

Yes indeed, it looked like the little on the oil cap, especially, if the car was used only for short distances.
But the amount in there should have been about 2 liters, I guess.

The water run down the windscreen, through the little cabinet (for fresh air) in front of the screen and run from there on the top of the air intake filter.
Then the water entered the filter box through the screws on top and decided by itself, if its easier to flow through the throttle and the intake valves or through the tube in the valve-covers and from there through the cylinderhead in the oil pan.

I think, in 2 or 3 weeks, I can start the games again.
Then, I want to put the engine and the gearbox in.

Nearly three years later..... nearly finished.
I know, this is a very slow going project, but now I think, it will be finished soon.

The vehicle got his own place on my ground.

Furniture is in (exception bathroom, will follow soon), Paintjob was done.
I think, first trip could be started in 2013.
Maybee to GB, like 2009 with a rental car :-)
