One week passed and I heard nothing from my Mustang. That's what I'd call customer service.^^ But it's better to hear nothing than getting mails you would not send if you were a professional sales man.
Last thing I heard was still the leaking break system. The shop owner told me, that the old break tubes are the last thing he didn't change until now. So that is what he wanted to do. But can that really take one week?
Hopefully in the end it's good for something. One should always see the good part in things even if it's worse. And that's also better for your health.
My project to buy a classic Mustang (68er), import it from the States to Constance at the Lake of Constance in Germany and have it restored by a local garage.

Getting impatient
One week passed and I'm still not on the road with my mustang. Old cars are not rocket science, but one could think so, if you hear some mechanics. What happend? I don't know. Seems really difficult to stop the break system from leaking.

Connection parts arrived last monday
But I'm still not on the road. Seems that my car is the less important project for the shop. Ah, I see: big parts of money have already been earned. And I am the calmest customer. So it doesn't matter if I have to wait some days more.
But there are also good news: the parts fit and the connections do not leak out. Now all air must be removed from the break system and then it should be ready. Finally!
I was really hoping I could go for a test drive today. But as always, there was something else or someone else more important. An "emergency" who broke down on the road....

Again and again
One would not believe how often parts could be missing and need to be ordered from overseas.
Yes, it's still the breaks that are missing connection parts. And the order made three weeks ago still hasn't arrived.

After all I'm not sure if all this was a good idea. My dream has turned into a nightmare. Or maybe it was just a lack of information and I should have chosen the workshop more carefully...

Still not on the road
Everytime when it seems to be ready to hit the road, something still is not working or not working good enough. So patience should be my best friend now.
And if it's not the car it's the weather.

But I'm confident it happens some day this year... Really
