Sweet score on that early car Todd,
These photos are of the same car before and after koch did his magic on it.

What colour is this nice car painted in? Why are the semaphores painted black? |
As good as that car seems.......  ..............................Todd's will be MUCH better.

| Rich, your grass looks awesome. Maybe you should get in touch with Steve Hammond in Indian Wells. I'm not sure how happy he is with his present Lawn Care provider. Tell him Dave Haviland sent you. |

Cause it's going to take a lot of green in order to restore that car?
More pics, this could be a great thread.

Whats the story on this ? did you start on it already or is it sitting like that still in the photo |
This car was crached in the front end in the late fiffites, badly repaired but prpbably not driven much after that. Somebody dismanteled the car in early sixties, some parts where stored inside, bodyand pan where stored outside under a simple cover. Thanks to the dry and cold climate in the north of Sweden most parts isnt so bad, rust isnt the biggest problem on tis car. Some of the original parts has gone missing over the years but it has matching number on engine and pan.
I dont ruch on with the restoration of it, I want to find as much parts I can before I start and I have some other easier cars to do first.

Rich I think you were one of the people who told me to be patient and it sure paid off. I should be telling you the same thing about your current search, good things come to those who wait! |
