2800 CS - the learning curve

[Johan_CS2800]

Not a lot of words, just some pictures of year 1 of this restoration project.
I can say I already learned a lot (some bending and welding, some flaws of the E9, ...), but there's still a lot of room for new insights.
It' s just a fast selection of pictures so if you're interested in some parts let me know and maybe I have some other pictures I can share.

In some pictures you will notice the calendar from the 00's from Würth. I have it hanging there to compensate for all that hard to get off undercoating they make.

That was the first or second thing to jump out to me - and I must say I did like it

Nice work Johan!

The Wurth... its one of those if you have to remove it do... otherwise let sleeping dogs lay. Tough stuff.

Looks great, Johan… you’ll be driving before you know it.

Wow, great progress on a project that would scare most people away. Well done!
