I have got nice new genuine towing rope for my carrier.
Also tested the garage gate opening with partial success

Nice to make your carrier more complete with this kind of parts.
Next project will be the garage gate so you can mount at the future some steps and mud skirds at the left and right side.
You did a great job Petr,nice to follow the restoration of you carrier.
Cheers Marcel

Thanks, Marcel, the gate is wide enough, but I had to get out without the navigator, which wasn't apparently very clever idea
And also my driving skills are a bit limited

We have run the first mile(s) with Drsnak this weekend, mostly dedicated to the "power pack" settings. Engine is performing well, but still have some overheating issues. Cooling will need a bit tuning
Will post short video later.
