There's been a long pause in the work, but my guys put themselves together and the work started again.
We had to rebuild front suspension because front ironman springs aren't equally long so I had an idea to use rear springs in the front :) The advantage of this solution is that I have 4 same springs and 4 same bump stops. We also started to make axle reinforcements and to do some wheel arches body work.

Thanks for comments, I really appreciate them. Good to know that someone is actually checking on this topic :) I also got a new cellphone, so the photos should be better from now on :P

The Volkswagen T4 radiator is in it's place. Now we have to connect it to the engine.
