Been following this since the start. This build thread restoration is what makes this forum. It's all about the older stuff.

Excellent work mate.

sticker time, the white sticker was found in the book that came with the car. The car was originally bought by a doctor in Austria in a dealership that also deals in Porsche and audi.
