Of to the panel shop to get a couple of bits touched up and the screens put in, hopefully 99% done in about 2 months
Has been 6 years to get to this stage

Yay

Bugger, in all my excitement I forgot the photo!

thumbs up

you call all the glass "screen" over there?

 

[kasbatts]

Yes, but only the front, the back window just gets called a screen sometimes because its the same size and shape i guess, the others are windows, funny how language works

Here in NZ we have

Front wind screen
Rear window
Side windows ( the front vent windows are sometimes called "1/4 light windows" )
Bonnet (hood) some people refer to a convertible soft top as a "hood" here ( a hood is something you pull up over your head, like on a coat or jacket)
Boot (trunk)
Guard (fender)

Lots more photos when I'm finished


Thanks



Steve

Yeah, the names of those things do vary between languages.

In Swedish it is all "pane", front/rear/side pane.

Bonnet would be "engine hood" and the lid of the boot would be like "rear hatch"

The word for guard is a direct translation from the German stossdämpfer. Stoss is when someone "bumps" into you and dämpfer is to dampen it.

Nice, hey how is your car coming on Johan? Is your re paint finished yet?

 

[johanaxelson]

Not painted yet In a week or two I think. Lat six weeks have been pretty slow.

And then it should go much quicker putting everything back together. But is probably another two months.

So I missed out on this summer but there is a summer next year...
