Thanks Guys! Mark did a killer job of fixing my body work and straightening her out. Day 302. This weekend was a massive success. On Friday night Fred, Burt and I went out to Carstairs to pick up Rosie. Everything sent as planned, and Burt and I stayed late at the shop when we got back and actually got the front beam and Tranny bolted in before we went home. Saturday I could not resist putting on some trim and the emblem. Burt came by again and we pulled the new wiring harness through. What a total PIA in a sunroof bus. It is way easier in a normal bus or a truck. Just getting the main harness through took the better part of three hours. Sunday I got the shifter all working and dug into the electrical. Almost everything is working with the exception of the right side signals, seems like a dud switch. Mike and Burt mounted the compressor and the tank for the air suspension, and A bit of the sound deadening. I mounted the steering box, and wheels. Super happy with the progress thus far, and I know this is going to be a long week ahead. I'm going to try to tackle the headliner and as much of the running gear as possible. Fred and Burt out at Marks. Beam in. Trans in. wiring harness Burt wondering why the harness wont go in. Lights!!! Dash. Where I left off for the weekend. A big thanks to Freddy for the help moving her. I just can't say enough about how much he's been there for me, especially when it comes time to move something. Burt has always been around during my projects, and I owe him on a large way as well.

Very nice! Those look like BRMs on the rear in the last pic. Are you gonna have Rosie rockin' a set of those? I think they would look killer on her.

Looks REALLY awesome Ken... You're making great progress and I'm sure you'll have it completed and driving around within your time frame.
Really looking forward to seeing it at Das Volks.

Mark, If you ask me one more time...... (Inside Joke... Mark asked me about 10 times what rims I was running. Before I dropped off the rims to be painted, while he was painting them and again after he had sprayed them. Each time it seemed like the first time I was telling him) Now.... No more interweb for you, I need the doors!!!! Ken
