John,
Do you happen to have any information or happen to know about the grills on the rear deck?

Oh and by the way... :coolpic:

Grills on the rear deck lid are from a 356 Porsche rear deck lid

 :Welcome: The whole car is fantastic but what really blows my mind is the suspension design and fabrication!

Hope to here feedback once you drive it, that's the most important thing... How does it drive!?

Holy Smokes............I had no idea.  The work appears to be top-o-the line............figgin' thing should scoot.
Nice to have so many minds working to a central theme.

7Up John:

Where did all the wiring in the engine bay go?  It looks pristine.  Mine looks like a rat's nest (albiet, a neat one).  How and where can I run it to look more like yours than something from the Munsters?

Yes, it's work...   No, I don't mind it.

Not sure where they hid the wiring (haven't actually got the car yet) I will make a point to look next time I go down to visit the car... Will let you know

Well it took Yahoo to screw up the Europa Groups web site bad enough that I found you guys over here.  I new there would be a silver lining to Yahoo's blunder.   Good to see that John is online.  The funny thing is that completely coincidental to jumping over here, I called over to Jay's guys yesterday to see if how the Europa was coming along. 

John - I had no idea that the car was in limbo.  Please don't be shy about organizing a sorting party.  Happy to swing by once you get your hands on it.

Wiring all runs in the center frame tube and down the sides where it splits at the engine

Thanks John... That sounds like a major alteration.  A bit beyond my abilities and budget... However, I do have to rewire the entire car, and I'll probably be farming the job out.... Hmmmm :)
