Hello all,
I would like to thank all who helped me in getting my car from the state it
was in:

to the state it's in today:

Great thanks go to Rich C. whom I have practically killed with questions..
Also, great thanks go to Rich Korn for providing photos of his very original
BN2.. And all others! The list is truly so wonderfully spirited!!
The next stage will be the engine (almost done, just waiting for the last
coat of paint with the gearbox):

The paint process looked like this:

Now the small print: I am aware that:
- brake pipes are copper (cannot find anything else in Poland)
- I used Koolmat (as a kind of a substitute for tar paper :-) ) as I wanted
to insulate against heat
- flasher is not original (looking for one)
- speedometer face & back color is not correct (winter project)
- the VIN tag looks terrible (looking for someone to re print it)
- fuel & oil flex pipes have wrong red thread (could not find proper one
here)
- no twin batteries - (will be there maybe next year)
- gas pedal shaft not insulated yet
- handbrake not insulated yet
- instrument panel not silver - I could not find a trace of silver before
paint job, so I felt I had a good excuse to leave it in white which although
probably not correct, looks better to me :-)
- master switch is of newer type, I still have not rebuild my previous one
- few items are still missing
Tadek
