Hi Oorwllie,
Lots of snow here but my shop has a good heater and I've got a few interesting projects on the go.
Our 356 Porsche project is a hand full I've now got two big boxes of rusty metal that we plasma cut off.
The new panels that we bought are beautiful and it is a lot of fun building all the missing parts .
The rotissere is a wonderful addition to doing this kind of work.
What kind of projects are you into?

Happy new year from Northern Spain.

Oorwullie, I´ll going to Switzerland in may-june. I will participate in the Type 3 Euro Meeting in Rust (Germany), near to Friburg, and we will stay before in your country, visiting the Leman lake, Geneve, Lucern, Basel and more.

Regards.

oorwille,
I was going through a old Foreign Car guide (june 1960) and saw a
story about the Swiss coachbuilder Beutler and the Karmann Ghia clone
they built. Nice looking coupe.
I wonder if you have seen any --
