Just a few pics...

We are still waiting for our turbo (shielding) parts.
Meanwhile time to clean up some more and fight rust...

Moving on...

We are in the new shop.
After installing lights, set up some storage shelves and putting on the parts that were finished, we could take some more measurements and get new parts designed and laser cut.
Kai Uwe couldn't stand my "Ikea motor mounts" so he designed some new ones.
I keep struggling to find time as my phone is an always ringing nightmare. It's nice when people spending your total budget just on their winter work asking you for help - but damn - it just mounts the pressure to get your own stuff done.

We still have to get the turbo and engine shielding done, as well as the last finish for the cockpit.
The trip to the shop (wind) damaged the old fenders a little bit, so we gotta get to fix those, too.
Kai Uwe is also doing some new alternator mounts. The original LQ4 mounts didn't fit the fuel pump...

Oh well - at least things are happening again.

In the winter shop!

Today the tractor was moved to the other shop in East Frisa, so we have a dry spot to get it all done!

Moving!

We're moving shop for the winter...
After a busy fall at my regular job (gotta pay for this ...) and spending some time with my other hobby (updating my home cinema to Dobly Atmos and 4k HDR) it's now time for a fortnights vacation with my GF.  After that we'll move the tractor to a new workshop closer to home and try to get it done for the new season!

More machine work!

Thanks a lot to the Green Monster Team and Dirk - now we can FINALLY move on!

Sometimes stuff just doesn't go according to plan...

So - that didn't work out.
My buddies had a rod bearing failure on their tractor, so they didn't got to Anholt. Which meant the truck wasn't going either.
I still don't have my 2nd turbo and drive line back - so we're currently plugging along with wires, hoses and other little sh*t...



Meanwhile the truck ran out of tech and the boys have started to rebuild their workshop.
Out of people and out of transportation - for now.
