The later pictures show a huge improvement over the first set, hard to believe its the same car, nice job. I am not much for white walls, but I think the white walls give it a good look.

while the car seems ready theres allways some things that appear.
The first was the tank sender... it's was damaged and as opel parts is a pain to find i had to re-wire the interior of the sender.

I drive my classic cars for work and to everyplace so sometimes i have some notes in my car.
The last one was a message asking if i could let the sound of my car be taped to mix with old images from a movie in Portugal.
Obvious i said yes and here is some images of the sound recording
