GERTRUD´S RESTO part six

At last some changes can be seen. She has been totally painted and polished and re-assambling has begun...


On the nose only the wiper arms are missing, waiting to be painted in black...


The front windows frames are off..


Inside seats, mats, and door panels will be re-installed soon...


The tail is ready, only the plate is missing. The tubular cage has been painted in the same colour than the bumpers...


And that´s all up now. She must be painted under the floor for rust protection and given parafine coat inside the doors and some points to `protect her´..
