Fuchs wheel (copy) gets new paint

 Had to mask / paint the last wheel, so that i could get the winter tires under. and whats best, i might get a chrome bumper to the front, with the blinker of course. damn, this little bug is getting pretty. have to locate the center caps to the wheels also. and some chromed bolts. and a rear seat too...and what else?

Der Violet ground beetle - project - Sinikiitäjäinen (Carabus violaceus) part3

 Some good and some bad, the bad things first, theres a broken front axle there. and some rust holes too, and the engine coolant is leaking... BUT the good thing is that the leak is an easy fix, changing merely one gasket. (maybe changing the whole wasser-pump ...could be wise) ...the axle can be welded, or getting a new one. rust holes are always bad, as i haven't seen them yet. good thing is that the start-up will be at this week, maybe in 24 hours. i hope that the long block aint broken... but will see and you will hear.
