ok after doing the suspension alignment on a professional setup I have completed the car today. (sort of)
Now it actually drives like a proper car smilesmile
So tomorrow I will get a 5 days registration to do some test driving, the wheather looks very promisiing, so looking forward to the best weekend of my motorist life !
Thanks to more welding of the GD exhaust system, I will have to reorder the back mesh from the factory.

Spatz, enjoy the driving driving Yes the weather looks good, but don't be too optimistic as I recall seeing some photos of a yellow Can Am in Germany looking rather bent yikes

yes I know about this, happened in the rain, do not know what other cars this guy was owning before.
Sure the beast is a challenge, but I have no intention to crash it after all this WORK !!

Well done.

What happens after the 5 day registration?
What is the process for full registration?

the 5 day are merely for doing test drives, if everything is working ok. I then plan to drive to Svens place and get the car properly registered.
At least that is the plan. I have prepared the car so it uses Lambda values and corrects them to value 1 (or any other if required). So I hope I will pass this part of the registration all the others should be no problem as there has been other ulitmas registered before.
