[IMG] 1973 Volvo "110 Cypress green" Non metallic, kinda BRG-esque...
Been a while since I last posted in any of those threads I think, so here comes a whole bunch... :eek: [img] '29 RPU [img] '34 Tudor [img] '51...
I drive a 1973 Volvo 164... Good engine, almost new paint, 240 Turbo alloys... But there's a lot of fix, crappy interior, bad wiring, rust holes...
Here's my '57 Ford, made it to look like an old Swedish custom. I'm not as good as many other builders but give it a try... [IMG] [IMG]
I was driving backwards, very carefully looking that there would be space for my car, yeah, I had some millimeters left...oops, i forgot the space...
1965 Opel Kadett (AKA Buick-Opel Kadett) 1975 Opel Kadett station wagon (our version of the Chevette) 1971 Saab 96 1962 Volvo 544 1965 Volvo 544...
It is not impossible to get a decent finish with a roller, even if you probably won't get any award-winning show quality finish. Use a foam...
WTF? Great that you saved it, it looks pretty cool to me, is it in a very bad shape or are the bodywork badly done or why was anyone even thinking...
Hmm... In Europe, some people are using the Opel Omega steering box on 57-64 Fords. But you never got those in US, so they can be hard to find....
Peugeot used 4-cyl hemis too, in their rear wheel drive 203,403,404,504, I think even the 505 may have used the engine...
Besides, I actually think that those wheels looks quite weird, the '35 wire wheels are prettier, but that's just my opinion of course.
I agree with Ratstar... Looks very nice.
[IMG] Quick and dirty effort... I guess that I'm no artist...
Some of my models, though I'm only an amateur and they doesn't look very good but... :( [IMG] 1941 Plymouth Coupé... [IMG] 1960 Ford...
Didn't the "half 389" have some problems with vibrations etc.? Still, it is a cool engine just because it does exist. :D I like souped up Model A...
I've heard of people putting salt water in their SU Carburetors instead of oil... :S
I would keep the Buick.
I think that wire brushes works well where the paint is thin/not have any primer under it, and to remove rust, but if you're going to strip an...
I wonder which parts DOES and which parts DOES NOT interchange on a 2.0 and a 2.3? European 2.0 if there's any differences...
I like the '60 Starliner best... Think that I have already posted a pic of my fathers '64 Galaxie 500 2d hardtop...
But we still are far away from the situation in the seventies... If you did any changes, or even worse, had built a new chassis, you had to crash...
Volvo 240 1979-88 w/o PS... :D Guess that he's only using the steering column from a Volvo and is going to change the wheel... But I may be wrong...
Ouch... Certainly not a pretty sight... :(
Or a heat gun.
I have done like lobucrod says a few times, usually a wire from a mig/mag welder works... And as already stated, be careful!
Here's my Willys truck... [img] Though I have scrapped the firetruck body now, looking for a cab, only got doors for it... Was afraid to post...
I think that one good thing with white paint is that it makes the engine compartment brighter, so you are better able to see what you're doing.
Of course alternators are working "better", but there is usually no reliability issues with generators, they do work even on a daily driver in the...
Still got the Bolinder-Munktell 320 "buster" that my grandfather bought new in 1963, I'll see if I can take any pics someday. :)
Nice. I like those early Falcons very much, was looking for one some years ago. Would like to have one as my daily driver... I like your car as it...
