Hurray! The car passed the vehicle check today. The repairs done were sufficient to pass. So, the next step is to get insurance and to register the car to be allowed on Belgian roads. So, I learned today, for an imported oldtimer car, I cannot request for insurance with MARSH

I have spent an article about the conversion of USA head lights to be in line with Netherlands/Belgian (EU?) regulation. Fully detailed with reasoning and pictures. More info here. Happy reading!

As the car has been bought in The Netherlands at Vemu Car Classics, while I myself live in Belgium, I had to import the car into Belgium. As this a transfer of the car between two EU countries and Vemu Car Classics had already imported the car from the U.S.A. into EU, this has been fairly simple.
