Thank you Mike! No, we have not started the engine yet. We do not have any battery cables yet and no coolants in the engine, etc..
My brother is away from home all week so I do not want to start the engine alone. I'm trying to install something else in the meantime.
The inner fenders are missing yet, hopefully we will get them soon, that we could install the front end.

Great! The engine started!!! The glow plugs did not work, but the brother's son will figure out where the fault is.
Suspension height was surprisingly good, although I feared that it looks stupid.
This is nice to continue.
