What it looks like after cleaning

I wiped off all the dust from the decklid today.

Latest score for the project

This time we have something really interesting and rare to show you. After searching high and low - and yes I admit it - even desparatly considered buying a repro decklid, I finally found a original split vert decklid for my longterm project. The decklid has been under my roof for two days now, and both days I just had to take a look at it before rushing to work... Still, I can't yet believe it. What are the odds of finding a split vert decklid in Norway? It has two easy reparable dents, and lots of surface rust. The inner part behind the hinges is the only part that will need some minor welding. Luckily all of the vert-only-parts and outer skin are in good shape.

He's awake!!!!

We can finally bring some proof that Brezelfürsten is not asleep anymore. Hopefully we will get some more input on the Express anlage, as it's up and running these days. Maybe it was all the rain at SCC that finally woke him up?

Express kit part 6

Regular buthane gas was not hot enough for the banjofittings. Today I found a very helpfull plumber who was able to do the job using a mixture of acetylene and oxygene. That was waaaay more effective!
