Update: June 24, 2022
Milage: 2518 kms since the car was finished.
Not so much driving in the Typ 64/VW60K10 lately, other projects have needed focus.
Today we took a local trip and passed 2500 kms since the car was finished.
Car runs well and no real issues, will look into improving the ventilation slightly, 29 degrees here today....😎
Still have some red wool tufts on the car after testing aerodynamics the old fashion way.
Today we celebrate Midsummer here in Sweden, time to park before the mayhem begins..............😘
