Thats alot of work there forsure , real guts to keep going

it's not done yet!

firstly, we discovered that handbrake shoe's are dead because of rust. (OK -replaced by new ones)

secondly, when mechanic's tryed to adjust handbrake, mofo handbrake cable broke!

after that, I went home to cool my head and to prevent myself from doing something stupid like putting car on fire.

I have had a 5liter can full of eurosuper 95.

thirdly, (luckily, I was not there) someshit happened with clutch peddal.
mechanic say's that clutch peddal broke or something like that...

But first testdrive was yesterday and it passed without me.
When putting dashboard in car I discovered that hazzard switch is not working so I fix it by assembling 1 working from 2 thad didn't worked.
