Shes all together now! Now comes the hard part, fitting all the cables, drilling all the securing bolt holes, checking all the wiring and making sure all the gauges and relays work.

Thank you. I can't believe how low the front of the car is.

I don't know, it looks like the whole car is six or eight inches off the ground!  :FUNNY:

Hover car? I knew it was light.  What if I fill the tires with Helium?

Doubt you will find an air filter on the shelf.  You could buy one for a DGV and modify the baseplate to fit your carb.

Thanks John, I didn't know what other Weber carbs are similar.

Big weekend of Europa time. I had to cut out the dash support bobbins so they lined up with the threaded holes on the chassis, glassed them into new position.  Made a new blanking plate, installed clutch cable, filled and bled cooling system and started engine with rad fan running( temporary feed from battery ). As I was doing this the mechanic who is going to safety the car stopped in and praised the restoration. He also adjusted the carb. The tires spin correctly and quietly in all the gears. Brakes feel good. Throttle cable and power up to the dash next.

Sha should now be a yard driver. Emergency brake complete and working. Throttle cable and peddle installed. Need to do a little refining to the carb end of cable fittings.

Busy weekend under the Europa. Choke cable installed and working. Steering wheel installed. (almost straight ;)) Most of the lights working. Can any one explain how to test the engine oil pressure sender and gauge? Same for the engine temp sender and gauge. Turn signals not working but light is on on instrument cluster. Front turn indicators not hooked up yet. 2 hrs trying to get rear right brake light to work, no joy yet. Finally finished the left door latch repair. So tempted to put her on the ground and go for a test drive.
