Hello Paul,

unfortunately, I didn't get much further over the summer because my cerbera also needed a lot of attention.

The axles are completely mounted, as well as the transmission and differential, the engine is currently being built up with new parts and light tuning measures.

Currently, the body is provisionally placed on the chassis to carry out various fibre optic work. First of all, I have to remove the paint completely, which is a hell of a job. Then various adjustments have to be made in the front part because the steering will be converted from RHD to LHD. Also, the system of the handlebar needs to be renewed, I hate crooked steering wheels ;-). Furthermore, an improved brake system is used which requires adjustments in the area of the pedal box. By the way, about 1,000 holes have to be closed in the car. The existing cracks also need to be repaired, the glass fibre is very thin in many areas. So there is still a lot of work to do for me.

If it goes well in winter, the car should be ready sometime in 2025 .... I hope at least.
