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

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

Mudguards needed some reinforcement after trimming.

Top work! Good progress. I'll be interested to no haw many litres that holds and what it's like to bleed, bet it will take plenty of time to heat up.
Keep up the interesting work, I'm hooked.
