Its always nice to see what those bills are sctually paying for....
Boxes and boxes in Alan's garage certainly make it clear.
And assembling them is a sure step that we are nearing the final phase.
Four Fuchs (sake)
A beautiful piece of aluminium....I think this is part of the attraction of these cars...even parts that are hidden are so well beautiful as a result of their function.
And Alan is certainly able to do the honours..
All the parts are coming together. Plated, pinted and polished....

The wiper assembley is plated...but its not going back into the car.. one of Alan's test pices...but look out for the next generation, once dismantled he will get one fully plated and operational.
The obligatory polished fan image....

And noice the dedicated 'workshop cleanliness maintenance machine' lurking in the corner.....
We discover that the original engine shroud has been in the wars...

Alan, was it the oil pump that had been changed and needed the shroud to be cut?
Certainly done a while ago...prior to 1996, when the engine was rebuilt completely....and I don't recall getting it done...
A somewhat wet Saturday is enlivened by getting almost all the bits together....
From the front...
Notice the artist in the background...
Love a a good clean Fuchs...
Now we're talking...
Vroom Vroom....
