It is not visible in the pictures, but there is as usual rust to fix, and then you have to find someone who is sponsoring with the finish, the color is not free ;-))
There's a Momo steering wheel in the car and some strange imitation wood on the dashboard.

Welcome.

I like the colour, looks a lot better than I thought it was going to look. Very 'Dutch'!

More pictures please.

Well I have done some small jobs on the car. Built on a Windshield wiper motor from a W124 when my old one had problems getting the wiper over the windshield. Then I also had a left rear view mirror in place, even that from a W124. A little fix with the electrical system has given better lighting inside and also a working central lock.
Now just to wait for the snow and try with rear wheel drive, it was long ago :driver: :) .

....And as a bonus, I noticed that the magnetic coupling to the cooling fan started working, so now I have restored the fan and got a few extra horsepower when it isnt spinning with all the time and slows the engine.

Good news, though I adore the roaring of the enging when the coupling locks on the fan :lol:

Hello again! Now the car is inspected and it was not so fun ... a spring in the back was broken and a balljoint right front was loose, but the biggest problem was the CO content.
CO = 9.9 (should be max 0,5) HC = 680 (max 100) CO2500 = 8.6 (max 0.3) !!!!! :help: but the engine consumes only 0.8 liters / 10 km, which is very strange, I think. :blink: Tomorrow I'm going to the workshop and get it balanced. Will be exciting to see what is wrong.
:driver:
