Thanks for the coments! really helps! norway is a could and wet country in north of europe... im hoping to get the parts i ordered from mac's this week and get it up on all 4
Brakes! I know that most of the guys in here will hate me for running mecanicals, but its cheep, and works.. so that will go until i can aford 40 ford brakes had to use my book ''how to restore the model a ford'' from 1961 to look after... And now the handbrake works (needs to be a litle tighter) and the backbrakes works GREAT!
Nice start there! Just curious on the registration, will the state accept the the new body? Or are you not going to tell anyone..? (For people outside of Norway: The state is normally quite strict on the identity of modified cars here in Norway, and that the body should be the same as or similar to the one the car came with) Paal
This is the reasond it will get new doors.. and the trunk/bed, hoping to register as an RPU.. but im not telling them its modified.. they will have to find it out themself..
As nice as that stuff is i'd stick with the banger. That frame etc is in really great condition, what happened to the body?
i have no idea about the original body... hehe, got the frame from a guy who found it on a barn wall..
Woho! the parts has arived! everything was packed in newspaper,and everything was fine! Only problem is i ordered ONE bolt wrong hehe, but no wories, i think i have one i can use until i make a new order need a few radiator parts foreksample now the car wil atleast be a roller(on its own wheels) on monday!
