The eagle has landed!!!!!

Many things changed the past days!

In a nutshell:

My father in law was in Helsinki and actually managed to pick the car up from the port. He brought Donna home last night and today I have put her in the garage. Now I have found some trouble that need fixing in the next few months.
Here we go:
  • Brakes are stuck, car can move but you can here the sound of them. Also the light of the brakes is always on (now we know why the battery is dead...)
  • The car definetely needs painting. the scar on the front is bigger than I thought.
  • Some lights do not work
  • I need to fix speedometer and RPM meters.
  • Seats are in ok shape but there are some cuts and stitches.
  • Top is leaking! BADLY! The car was soaking WET! I had to put some air ventilator today to try to get some of the water to dry out. Will do the same in the next few days with a heated ventilator this time. I have found a very good product from Renovo that is meant to make the top waterproof.
  • Also I noticed some holes between the door and and the top (where the door closes). Maybe I have to find a good way to close those
  • The covers on the doors need attention (needs some good work but I think it will look nice)
Ok, I hope the list is not that big... :)

The car is filthy dirty. I need to somehow clean it inside the garage cause noone can touch the car without getting stains wherever he touches.

We also took some pictures. I will post them as soon as I have them here.
