Hello everybody !
My name is George i am 34 years old,i am from Romania(Europe) and i am an engineer.

I have this beautiful TRABANT 601 since 4 years ago.I restaured the car myself - except paint job.
The year of fabrication of car is 1981 (plate number TM 81 DDR) TM is the name of the county where i live,DDR i think you know what means (Deutsche Demokratik Republik - where the car was fabricated)

Here are some photos with the car Very Happy Hope you like it



And this is me near a piece of the Berlin wall wich was donated to the city of Timisoara

Thanx Wink

The car was in a good shape when i bough it - very little rust but i hate the colour Rolling Eyes And aswell had some scratch on the body. I convert it from 6 volt to 12 volt because of lack of spare parts. The engine i repair it myself one time (RK) 65.000 km ago. It works just dandy now Razz



Me @ traby work Smile

@ PAUL BEAUMONT Why do you have to carry out the engine rebuild naked???

Answer : because it was + 41 Celsius inside the house Laughing and i was drying myself out

@ JC T ONE : you must have a very understanding girlfriend/wife

Answer: YES i have a VERY understanding wife . She was the one who is taking the photos Very Happy And this is EASY ... my FIRST FIIIIRST traby engine was ALL on the table in the house/. She scream for 30 sec then i said : if u don't be quiet ... so i can concentrate on my work ... this engine will be here MANYYY days. ... The engine was done @ 2 am in the same night ... and running the next day Wink

YES ... she RESPECTS my passion for this car and this community a LOT !
