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

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!


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!



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



Inside.. only some surface rust.

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.

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.
