...5...4...3...2...1....LIFT OFF :D

No updates for some days. Got the flu :(
Anyways.. I had to do something in the garage so last night I hooked up the rest of the Air Ride and was able to test it :)







Temporary install. All these parts are going to be installed under the hood in front.









After connecting the battery I was ready for the first "test drive". Everything was working 100% and no leaks :)


Slammed it is laying flat on the ground (physical) and on top I got 23cm under the car. That's what I call a DROP, baby! :D


So, when I get rid if my flu I will get some tires on and be able to test it even more.
And best of all, finally get started on the body.

*Sunday update*

It was a sunny day in Oslo today so I wanted to spend som time OUTSIDE the garage for a change ;)
Started to work with the body. Almost no rust here either :) SWEET! :D



This isn't to bad for a car that haven't been restored since it was new in 1968 ;)



Inside.. only some surface rust.





Tjaap 16-03-2008 22:11

very nice for an unrestored car,... where do you still find stuff like that...

what are the plans?

Had some luck I think :)

I'm going to sandblast the parts of the body that got some surface rust.
Then I'm going to sand it down and give it some coats of primer, with a little twist. ;)

Tjaap 18-03-2008 21:22

not black i hope.. too many of those around already... then again.. not on airride

M.I.V.W 18-03-2008 22:51

Please Not Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

DrLaban 19-03-2008 09:38

Relax guys :D It is NOT black. As mentioned in this thread it is going to be painted with grey primer, but I have something up my sleeve ;)

Stijn 19-03-2008 09:43

Holy shit, that bug is in excellent condition!

interresting topic!!
i wonder where to get those front shocks!
but to be onest, the DO look like monroes!

DrLaban 22-03-2008 21:42

Update - Finally out of the garage :)

Today I could push the car out of the garage so I could clean up the garage after working there all winter.

It is kinda low, even with the 80-profile tires ;)










Tomorrow I'm gonna work with the body. Remove windows, rear fenders etc.

Tjaap 22-03-2008 21:48
