I posted photo of my project in FABO Welcome Wagon on 27/June when I joined this website. Now, half year later, I have finally
got floor panels painted both underside and inside. Plan before New Year is to get car down from rotisserie, install front and rear
suspension, get it on wheels and start preparing body panels for painting, hopefully in Feb/Mar. I have most of the parts already
painted and/or zinc plated and ready to install. March is only about 80 days away, days are getting longer after weekend, so
spring and next summer come quickly, hope not too quickly. Last picture outside my garage, gives some idea why it is nice to
spend more time inside building the project. Sun is up only 5 h 45 minutes a day this time of year at these latitudes.

Great work! Not sure but your 200 convertible is the first one I heard of in the Nordic countries!
