Almost complete, just need to do some final touches. Just ordered some VDO gauges to keep an eye on things.



I'm going to be looking for new seat covers, Black or Tan, leather or cloth and I'm also going to be looking for a new top, black or tan. Any info on where to buy these items for a good price would be great.

Yup, this is just until I'm able to drive it over to shop here in town to have the guy make up some nice fitting tubing.

Thanks for the tip, I checked it out and bought it. Good deal, $500 for a new top and rear curtain with free shipping. It said there regular price is around $1300. Now they only have one left.

100km on her now and runs strong, pulls very hard from 90-120 range. But there is a vibration in the vehicle the I don't remember having before, I think it coming from the front tired and I still don't have the front drive shaft connected yet.

No everything seems to be working extremely well, I had a couple of coolent leaks but they were just lose clamps. The vibration that i have are the tires out of balance, so that needs to be fixed before I do any major highway running. I'm still tring to track down the parts for a driveshaft e-brake. I'm only getting about 14 mpg in town but I have three times the power.



How's your H1 coming? How do you like the e-lockers? Were they hard to put in?



Pics Soon, Cheers
