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.

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. ;)

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

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

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.

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.

I was supposed to show the car at a show this weekend, but the time ran away from me last week because I had to take some steps back. I got a major oil leak behind the flywheel so I had to take the engine out again.

But I'm gettin there. This weekend I stayed at home instead of going to Sweden and party at the "Bug Run" show.

More work on the rear bumper. Damn I got some hours on the bumpers now!

Fixing the leak..

Then I was back where I left..

The snowflakes connected and working. Had to do some relay mods to make them work as rear lights, brake lights and turn signal. All using ONE bulb.

Finished up the audio system. Forgot to take pictures of the subs..

I'm going all hidden for the audio so I made a custom wall under the dash.

As for the sound it turned out really well. The AshPod is working like a charm. And the fat mat is doing a helluva job :D

Until then... BYE!

I am going to go for the wide trim on the sides, and that will arrive tomorrow.

Bronze tint on ALL windows. The guy who did it, did an AWSOME job with it!!

Tonight I "upgraded" the car with the (old style) wide trim on the sides. That did it all. MUCH better.
I also installed the windows in the passanger door.

Howdy folks,

I´ve had summer vacation and I´m struggelig a bit to get the motivation back.
But I have worked with the bumpers and things are starting to look good.

Yesterday I layed some more füller on both bumpers. Here´s two good and "thick" layers on the rear bumper. This is done to make the profiles around the tubes etc perfect. The same "trick" is done on the front bumper.

http://vagner.jeje.je/bilder/albums/68_Type1/n549455702_2676795_2282705.jpg

And today the front bumper got it´s first layer of flatt matt. The paint is not dry on the pics so it is not completly flatt.
