We can make Steve the star of "Car Improvement" and playing the character of Wilson.

The retrofit was my (crazy) idea. Steve doesnt have a hoist in his suitcase so the car is going to be lifted up in the next few days and have the levelling sesnsors attached.

Unfortunately there are some mods that Steve prefers not to start because he can not finish them all on his own (when travelling). Fortunately that is not a problem for the client as he can send the car to a workshop and have the additional work done externally.

The idea was essentially that the wiring is there and in place.

You wouldn't imagine it but there are about 30 parts that need to be ordered so that the external levelling parts can attach correctly. Mostly just bolts, nuts and clips.

@ advans: most emails get replied within 2-3 days...whenever I am travelling around, some emails might take longer to get replied as I don't have the time to reply emails...

greetingz,
Advans was replied earlier today (August 5), when working on some older mails. When Steve is travelling somewhere around the world, I basically have to reply all mails myself. *sigh*

That does sound funny : I always tell the customers that they can recognize you because of the 'bad shave'... or should I say 'not been shaved at all for at least a week'. I wouldn't know how people would be able to recognize my brother if it wasn't for his beard that he is growing every time he is travelling around. ... or should I mention the hollow look on his face when he has been travelling and installing for more than 3 weeks, and the MBenzNL-shirt he is usually wearing, and the torn trousers, because he keeps cutting them up when doing installs.

Nah, I don't think our customers would recognize him because of that. It's the non shaven look - or the shoes, like my brother says.

greetingz,
