BARNFIND

Found in the least expected place, a few yards from home!!! Rusty 2nd generation Notchback, a dent in the right front and without engine.... What a pity!

Luckily the guy who discovered it before us is going to restore it...!!!

TÜV ARRANGEMENTS

Yesterday we took Gloria to the Garage to prepare her for the ITV (Spanish Vehicles Technical Inspection). We had to change her steering box, from the comfortable but unfittable mexican one to her original box re-built at a local steel workshop.


This is the mexican box that it´s now going to replace Gertrud´s to make her safer and more comfortable....


Here we can see the master of VWs, don Jose, doing his best preparing the housing for the steering box...


Next Saturday inspection, will we pass it or not???
