What was promised as a 3 day touch-up of spots that were rubbing or had been sanded to align the doors, including the making of the cover strips for the fender seams turned into a month.
Along with that we moved the muffler to the area between the wheels and bent the pipes up almost against the body to lower the problems with speed bumps.
While it was there I made the knob for the transmission shifter out of a walnut tree. Details are here.
First step after the body shop was the alignment shop, where they didn have equipment for 10” wheels, so off to the nexrt one (in the rain as the hail stopped).
Then 25 km home in the rain to wash and polish it, add the transmission knob and position the base, etc.
Since the previous owner lost the second license plate and the process ofreplacement takes years, I had a European style plate made and made a new support out of the remains of the stainless sheet.
