As promised I took some pics...

The loom is finished! The fusebox is now an the passenger side. A lot of cables where stripped out, e.g. complete air condition, heated seat, front fog lights, switches, etc.
In the engine bay, nearly no cables are visible. looks quite cool

Next step: I will measure each cable in order to be sure, that I did a good job. After that I will put in the power cables (the batterie is in the rear) and make a first test. When everything is finished, I just have to tape the loom...

Looks like the TÜV is not amused about cutting out major pieces of the car and welding back in pieces of a totally different car...

I too hope that he has managed to get the car sorted for the road as the effort that the guy has put in is second to none.
Good luck and try to give us a update soon Cyril.

Hey guys...

sorry for being away for a while...

Due to problems with TÜV and my work, I needed to do a little pause....

Actually, I maybe have someone who make the car street legal.... But I am quite carful... I don't know if it will be possible. So I will restart during the next weeks the project and finish it. Then we will see, if it is going to be street legal or not.

Cheers

Cyril

it would be a real shame if you couldnt get it road legal after all the great work that has gone in to it

here in the uk you could have just changed the engine size on the log book & away you go

could you not bring it over here get it on the road here then take it back & get it redgistered at home???

It's nice to see someone do one of these conversions in the public eye to such a high standard. I hope you pass the TUV and enjoy it!
