73 JPS Resto Photo Album
« on: Friday,February 21, 2020, 10:55:10 AM »
So Guys it's been an eventful journey and apologies for not keeping everyone informed about the rebuild but in all honesty it's has been easier to load my photos up to Facebook Europa page than doing re-sizing and stuff which I really don't understand here.

I am going to post a link to my Google Album which I hope 1: Is allowed and 2: I hope works..... Maybe some knowledgeable chap can and will correct my ignorant ways...

I'm getting very close to being 95% of the way ...... I reserve the other 5% for all the silly things I have missed.

So here goes.....Hopefully it works and I would really appreciate any feedback positive or otherwise

That is a seriously good looking Europa. It looks like very high standard work. very impressive, and well done. Looks like you will be on the road soon.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

She really is a beauty, 1973JPS! Congratulations on a very nice build! I'm still going through the pictures - very nice! My only complain is that I have to look at them in reverse order!  :)

Just make sure you post a link to a video of your initial drive!

Cracking job well done...
It's always a pleasure to see the effort and patience to detail. Reminds me of my ten year project. Sometimes the journey is just as satisfying as the final result. Looks like you've climbed the mountain and are ready to plant the flag.
Good luck, you have a classic to enjoy for many years to come. Best regards,ld.

You just saved me a whole lot of time. I was wishing I had a neighbor with same car further along so I wouldn't have to take so many pictures. Thanks for sharing you lucky dog with a 95% Europa and spring coming in Ireland

 Really nice job documenting all your work. I Spent over a hour ogling your pictures. The twin cam engine is the way too go, just a joy to view.

Brilliant !! Well done - it is a credit to you, not only the work you have undertaken but the effort spent in photographically recording each stage, (its so easy just to press on and forget this part.) This is a great reference collection for my build - (I didn't quite get the blue suspension components though... )
