well this is the last turn of this item complete dismantle and rust remove and repaint in correct blue colour, and final clearcoat, removed the trim rubber and clean before reassembly now looks right fill your garage with one of these, they work perfectly and they are a great addition
around 1965 german guys had these wonderful equipment available, think what was available at your places those days
completing the tools and garage items, found an interesting addition, a german made lamp that went with the Hazet toolcarts see here, eclectic and elegant IMHO
I've owned this E9 for two years now and have yet to begin restoration. In that time it's traveled 3,700 miles, but I've only driven it about 30. The rest was by ship and truck to it's new home in Austin TX from Maui HI. Buying parts, parts, parts.
1974 started as a 3.0 automatic ended up as a Motronic 3.5 with 5-speed. Amazing how many parts one could cobble from E12's, 28's and the like but that was 20 years ago! And no, wood doesn't last more than 20 years without a tune up unless it lives in a bubble. Now I do E12's. And those are getting difficult to keep looking good!
