It’s alive! It has been in indecision state for five months and in the shop for more than a month, but now back on the streets! (Legally)
New parts include steering gears, brakes, fuel pump, seat belts, tires, etc, and there was also some hull work. Twenty fixes altogether.
Indecision had to do with whether this was all worth it 🙂 Not at all sure it was. It was VERY expensive. The shop owner offered his nice Jaguar (10+ years younger than my car) for more or less the same price. Still, I chose wrongly!
See you on the road! If I’m waving, it’s probably because I have had a breakdown, please pick me up.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world. See the other Planetskier blog articles about skiing, caving, urban exploration, climbing, cycling, flying, swimming, and saunas.
