I fit the rear wheels,too and tryed all gears and the clutch.Runs fine,no noise till now.Hope it will be the same when the car will be driven first time. For those who wondered why the oilpressure("huile") light shines a little bit to long after starting....it is now the warning light for the alternator!The other controllights are LED typ,and that works not for the alternator. There is still a lot work to do,but there is light at the end of the tunnel.... Thanks for looking! Greet

	I love this car. It's uber ccool!! Anyway I was sure that your steering wheel was up side down so I used Google and found out that there is no right or wrong. Some have it installed like you have some have the 2 spokes pointing down. This is in a 203 ute

After a cup of coffee i will go back to fit the seats... Greet

Funny how we all see things slightly differently. 😃 I think it’s much better the way it is, because it frames the speedo better, giving a clearer view of it, and runs parallel to the lines taken by the indicator and gear-lever. And it looks more smiley and happy. It looks sad upside down. 😂 Mar 28, 2019 8:45:31 GMT totti said:

	Guten Morgen! Did some final things on the 203..... Doorcards are back.... Like new rubber mats for the floor.... The glassbottle for the brake fluid... Repaired the insert for the gloovebox....it's only cheap cardboard... And then the moment is there:ROLL OUT! From this..... to this! Testdrive was successful,brakes are good and no noise from gearbox and axle.Engine performance is very mild... ...but this is no real surprise. Next stop:TÜV inspection.... Thanks for looking and all the kind words....watch this space...! Greet
