Hi Again Guys!!!
Long time no see! Many things was going on and I didn't had much time to visit our forum. First of all I have my Berta back, because it turned out that engine was dying  But now after complete rebuild it runs like it should. I don’t have any picture from the process, because I was doing everything on my own and I didn’t wanted to destroy my camera with those black greasy fingers of mine. Anyway engine have new piston rings, polished crankshaft, new main and connecting rods bearings, block was honed, valves reached, new seals etc. Lots of work but I succeeded to finish that. Now Berta is running just very gently because I want engine to run-in completely before I’ll take it to the spin. So now I can deal with the rest of the car. I’ve removed AC, PS and belt driven fan during the process. So that’s my starting point. Now I have to wait for some funds and I’m starting aero mods. 

Ok guys now I have to read lots of new threads just to catch up 

See you soon
