Subject:Mid-engine DoKa resurrection

The mid-engined double cab I built way back (2002), I finally bought her
back from my friend (the previous owner while building)
After spending more than two years creating this beast with my friend, I
never had the chance to drive her extended time.

After my friend lost motivation, she was standing more than three years
in an open field (2008-2011). Wind, weather, Snow, Rain, open Sun etc.

Well, we made a deal and I finally got a hold of her 8 weeks ago:
-starter overhaul
-oil change
-timing belt change
-that´s about it.

Yesterday offical TUV inspection (Germany, you know):
no problems, passed like a champ!

She was really dirty, like a T1 you would find in a barn.
Today, after 4 hours of washing, scrubbing:
-vacuuming, removing stains.
-glass cleaner on the outside (2 bottles) and got rid of 90% of the old
goo and green stuff.
-enough Coke+Vodka to get me drunk.

Tomorrow, I´ll have my buddy clean the rest, with a high-pressure
cleanser with hot water incl. shampooing.

My mom took my camera, so here´s the DoKa, shot with my mobile phone:
