The specialist was called in, a few more new people showed up and all nine of them spent the day putting Opel back together. There were a few false starts but in the end they did it. I take back what I said about the translator’s career. He might make it.
We test drove it to a restaurant last night for celebratory beer and lagman. I’d forgotten how nice power steering is. It’s a miracle. A $1,200 miracle.
With two-thirds of the trip is behind us, we’re about to leave for the Kazakstan border. Now we just need to survive the long drive across Kazakstan, getting into Russia and the road across all of Mongolia. And hopefully find those Bandits.
Updates to come soon!
