first the engine and front...

Very Nice! I bet that is a very big car on Switzerland roads! Do you see a lot of American cars over there?

What are the next plans for the car?

I really need to get back to work on mine. This weekend I got my new (new to me) motorcycle ready for the road, and cleaned the garage a bit more. Discovered termites in the garage, and it's attached to the house. Well, there goes $1200 of car funds!

Next comes a shed, then I can work on the car again!

Where do you work on yours?
