Marcin, Trabant 601? Does the 601 mean the engine is 601cc??

I love the lowered stance! :D

love the speedo 8)

I am guessing from the last project your bus is coming down a fair bit? :)
Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn't fail.

Wow, nice work.
As summer approaches I'm guessing you intend to try and get this on the road for some cruising in the sun.
Cheers & God Bless

Thanks ;) I would love to, but I will run my bus in 2013 or 2014. There is a lot of work to do, and time isn`t on my side.

Yesterday I welded front lower A-Pillar (under the hinge), but I`ve maded a mistkake and didn`t mount the doors. The pillar moves a little bit and now doors arent close at the same diameter to the B-Pillar. I need to cut up wleds where the botoom of A-Pillar is connected to the inner valance, than mount the doors and weld it one more time.

At least you can go back and sort it.
Working with metal helps.
Looking good though.
Cheers & God Bless
