Changes - changes

The W123 is still loved but again there's a huge flippin' delay on the horizon (again)


Unexpectedly I got the opportunity to buy a place with a fair sized garden (for Holland where nearly everything is postage stamped sized) where I can put down some roots and build myself a decent sized workshop


So I grabbed that opportunity with both hands!


Downside is that the plans I have for all of my car projects are somewhat delayed so the W123 is being "put back together" ready for temporary storage and transportation to the new place once the workshop has been built (this I need to do myself!)





I find it quite surprising that despite my best efforts to make this car look as dreadful as possible (!) it still looks kind of handsome





(Well may be not...)
