Ok, folks. A lot of progress with the car. Almost finished painting the body.
I am not going to show the hole car before all details are done. But here's a sneak peek of one of my "secrets" More to come, so just stay tuned

You got camber??

Mounted the body again today. It was very exciting to see how the stance for the rear was with the new tires.
So after I bolted on the rear fenders and installing the compressor and air tank, I was ready to drop this badboy.
I tried on some old front feders because the one's I'm using is bare metal at the moment.

And I was EXTREMLY happy with the results, no modification needed, and I got a 3-4mm gap between the tires and the rear arches.. PERFECTO!!!



















The front fenders are 10mm from the ground.

*Update*

I have been working on the air control lately.
Not finished...




Stripped the engine and did some cleaning. A lot of work but I'll think the result will be ok.




A BIG shipment from the states arrived today.




Some goodies..






More...



Sebring sports exhaust to give the engine some sweet noise this season



More engine parts and J-tubs



G-Caps... red of course



New rust red door panels


After some hours in the garage today the engine is almost done.




Recap.. it looked like this after the fire :O

Got my batteries today. I am going to mount two them under the backseat.
One for the starter and door poppers, and one for the air ride etc.




Yesterday I got the dual battery isolator.




The engine is now assembled and I only need to connect all the hoses.

Installed the engine last night. Without a scratch *puhh*




The time is running from me guys. I am supposed to be finished with this car for Bug Run i Mantorp/Sweden, which is 6-8 of June :o
If all parts arrive in time and nothing is happening I THINK I am going to make it

I also ordered a upgrade of my air suspension some days ago.

5 gallon tank (the one I got is 2 gallon)




Two Viair 380 Chrome compressors (got one 280 Chrome today)




Stay tuned!
