Well you're ahead of us with our notch.
You can drive yours, we don't even know if ours runs.🤪
So it's all relative. Good job.

Gotta love a notch!👍

Looking real good dude!

Where did you get those dress trims??

Also can you remember what size your tyres were? They would be the perfect wall width for my bug..
