Thank you Leo,

For sure my GPA is nearly complete now, but she is also far far away from to be able to float.
I will need all your knowledge about how to replace all those parts together again in the future ... your experience will be of a great help for me.

Regards,

Thanks a lot Leo.

Of course you are welcome at home too.

Do you manage to come to the militaria gunshow on April 25th in Ciney (B). It is the biggest militaria gunshow in Europa. ( http://www.cineyexpo.be/agenda/evenement.php?id=149 ).

If you (or some other one from here) is planning to come, we could meet all of us around some beers.

Regards,

It was great to spend time speaking about GPA's and such with all of you.

I have to become more fluent in all those strange languages but, ok, it is far most easier after some beers ... crazy

See you soon again pals.

Too bad I missed this meeting, maybe in October I will come to Ciney again after some years of absence.

There was really few GPA parts. I bought some and left there a set of front passenger seat original brackets in restorable condition.

Hope to meet all of you again next time.
