[vdk2010]

I fear I will not gonna make it to New Orleans in the next few years, although the South is on top of my go to list

BUT I'm planning to come to carlisle for years now and hope I will make it there in not too far future!

Now the fun is over it's back to work on the car again.

She's going to look good when finally completed.

 

[LeBaron1973]

Any more updates Julian?

 

[vdk2010]

Hmpf. All projects I'm working on right now are stuck... Not a good restoration year so far.. :/
I'm still on it, but everyone how did this kind of restoration knows, sometimes everything's stuck and you can't find the right spot to attack these problems.

I'm waiting for parts and better weather right now.. :O It's -12°C right now...

Sounds like writers block. We'll have to find you a Muse. lol.

I know the feeling Julian. After a couple months of "directional stability research", my priority's have changed from restoring Virgil to getting my life on a more stable path. Virgil will still be there then.

Sounds like a classic Gumption Trap! If only Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance had given good advice for getting out of it.

That sounds reasonable, bring 'em on!

Sometimes, life gets in the way of things. I know that very well. Yes!

But I'm still not willing to make compromises on my restoration.
