You sir, are a genius! :)

DrLaban 12-05-2009 21:45

Tonight I finished up the engine department. New black walls, and I actually fired up the engine. Works like a charm :D
Needs some minor adjustments after it get warm.




I also picked up my package from Classic Bildelar and after som mods i had a "wackeldackel" with an iron cross which will be installed shelf behind the backseat.



DrLaban 13-05-2009 21:55

Almost finished up the rear bumper tonight. Helluva job to get the horns and bars to fit perfect after the modification of the bumperblade.
After 2-3 hours it started to look like I wanted. Some more job tomorrow and I'll start the cleaning and welding of the bumper.

PS! The hole bumper is going to be white, the red primer is only temporary after I blasted the bumper parts. ;)



DrLaban 19-05-2009 21:53

This weekend I moved the project to a bigger garage :)

And tonight I started inside the car. Half way on the carpeting :)


DrLaban 19-05-2009 21:53

Almost finished up the rear bumper tonight. 90% of the welding is done. All the slices after the modification is welded, bolt holes is cleaned and brackets are welded to the blade.

Nope, old classic fog lights which I have blasted and painted the bucket.
..if you're talking about the yellow fog lights.... :D

Folks, I don't have a break in the project. The car is finished during the next week if I receive the last parts. Have been working my ass of the last two weeks and this last week I took the week of from work just to work with the car. 14 hours in the garage every day. :)

There will not be any pictures of the whole car before I've wrapped it up, but some detail shots you can get ;)

First out, the amp is color coded to match the primer red AshPod






The digital display for the air ride is hooked up and functional. The frame is going to be polished up tp match the chrome trim on the dash (not yet mounted)




As we speak I am doing the bumpers. Finishing up the welding on the rear bumper.







Just weld and grinding, no bondo yet ;) Pretty pleased with the result.




Finishing up the start/end of the tubes. A lot of job, but gettin' there
