Very beautiful. To me, somehow a wonderful reminder of your dear friend Mircea. I did not have the opportunity to meet him, but I miss him.

I have just read all 21 pages. Wow, I'm blown away.
However, it is like watching a TV show that is cancelled but without a finale. Your signature doesn't show the split as still being with you, what happened since these last pictures?
You are an inspiration as I am about to being my own project 52, which while not as rough as yours was, is still going to be a challenge for me. |

Well, i am not happy to say it like that, but life happened 
i married, bought a house, but that demanded funds so i sold all my cars. When i had to choose between a 30 years mortgage or ... not, guess what i chose.
My split is now in Belgium, a very cool guy has it and it shares a garage with other nice cars. It will get the needed attention and a good peaceful life.
However, you see VW bug never gets away. I got to buy the car of my friend Mircea (read about it in the past pages) who passed away sadly, then the Bluestar for trips with wife and upcoming kids, and the 70Westy.. why not, when there's plenty space in the garage.
This split has taught me a lot during all these years i owned it, i might be organizing a visit in the future with one of my cars.

It was sad to read of your friends passing, but am glad you have his car as a remembrance of him. I'm sure you also enjoy the bus. My first vehicle was a hand me down 70 Westy from my Dad, I now have a 72 Westy as part of my collection.
Thank you for updating us.
