A single garage, you were lucky :) I did my first resto on the drive!

The paint was full of bits and flaked off afterwards :)

Keep it up Owen the end is in sight!

What's your plan for an engine?

A 914 T4 with upright cooling (T1 fan housing) could be an option? A step up from the little bug motor too.
