Are the curtains (or more importantly, the rods they run on) easy to come across? I've only seen them in a few photos and don't know how they mount or how easy they are to get.

I got them From german Ebay seller, i will post up the seller as soon as i can find him. He sells Full rear curtains for the back passenger windows and back window. They are very easy to stick on, you can use two sided 3m tape.

The new motor is holding up well, i need to replace the air cleaner intake because the plastic is all brittle and broken. I think it will need fuel filters also, but other than that the car is running great....i have been flying down the motorways at about 80-100 with ease. Thanks guys for all the kind comments!:)

Just more encouragement for me to give mine a good clean ready for summer (still waiting for local water restrictions to be lifted :()

Wow, Coming from you Styria that means a lot! The only thing i need to fix is the dashboard, i will probably end up buying a plastic dash cap for it. I think i may snap a few pictures again today...:)
