10/05/2019 - Finising kit arrived !

What an exciting day ! Finally, my finishing kit arrived in Antwerp, Belgium and so I went to pick it up at the Harbor.

Kind of a surprise to see the size of this box. I used my stepfathers ford transporter but the box barely fitted inside.

Arrived home.

 We tried to lift the box out with 3 people but it got stuck somewhere and so decided to take of the lit and get most of the heavy stuff out. It weighs over 160kgs

It's quite surprising to see how little is actually inside the box.

As usual Vans does a great job in shipping this and the organisation in the box is very well thought through.

The canopy is the center of attention and all the rest is nicely protected and positioned around it.

All the steel weldments are underneath the canopy and attached securely with tie wraps through the box.
A first inspection shows that no damage was done during shipping. Hooray !

Now it's inventory time.
