Hi guys.....its amazing how time flies by and you forget to update your progress. The last time I updated everyone on my restoration was almost 2 years ago but more importantly more than 6k miles of pretty much carefree and exhilarating driving. Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious has not been the case for me, yes there has been a few small niggles and annoyances but in all honesty I have had great fun with ti's fantastic driving machine.... I just love her.
Here is the link again with an extra 2 years of using a classic.

That is a lot of pictures!!! You've done yourself proud! She's stunning and so is a lot of the scenery! Thanks for all of them!

I have to wonder why you kept the 8-track tape!!!

One suggestion is to install gas struts for your boot lid. You'll never regret it!

Thank you BDA... Yes lots of photos..... She is almost completely factory original and that's why I kept the 8 track.... Mind you I did send it to England and had a Bluetooth module fitted which allows me to use my phone as a media player etc.... I have thought about the boot lift system but again this wasn't available when she was built but was on the very last years of production

Great photo trip. Your Europa is looking great, and great to see it is getting lots of use. I'm digging the 8-track, still have mine fitted, too.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
