the winter time is time to work on the Famo...
so I did some more detailling work. Thinking that the Famo is nerly finish...
In time I work on the engine dummy. I made it heavy with around 3kg lead bubbles, because I made the side fenders lighter. For the rigt grip on the front wheels I need some weight in the front. So with this I think its better to drive... Pictures from the engine will follow soon.

- front and rear seats
- side flaps from the stoage

This all musst be finish til sept. 2020, than starting my next project ;)

Hi Guys,
I hope everybody is fine!
Hav'nt done that much last time. - the sun is shining and other hobbys taken time :D
But sometimes I did a little details, and finished the electric work.

Hi Florian,

Where did you find this 1/6 Notek front light and the stand? Does it work, with that wire? :idea:
