Placed in the garage.



Disassembly.





Throughout the disassembly I found out;
- Balljoints = Junk.
- All the bushings = Extreme junk.
- Exhaust = Mostly junk.
- All 4 doors, tailgate, fenders and bonnet = Rusted junk.

Some of the rust!







Almost empty. (Notice the Panda, he got named Woop Woop!)



Rust removal.







Mocking up some sheetmetal and started welding.









Lifting the inner arches.



Getting somewhere!






And at last, my mate might need to start on his diet....

Wow! by "rust removal" you mean Car removal, lol

Glad you're keeping this one alive; sad that I see car's in 5x better condition in the junk yard every week.

Someone think of it as a lost project, that it is better off in the junkyard, but I call it a challenge!:lol: It's all worth it in the end, when you turn over the key, slip it into gear and light up the tires! :oogle:
 
Going slow lately, working on a 1940 Ford softrod, 1967 Camaro overhaul and the Volvo at the same time! :omg:

Just need some tlc with the hammer now, pretty straight though.



Parts rolling in.







- IPD 25mm swaybars.
- IPD Torque rods and panhard.
- New door locks + trunk.
- New tail lights.
- Everything for the rear and front suspension (Ball joints, tie rods etc etc).
- Misc bolts, filters, engine parts etc etc!
 
Been busy lately, got two cars that have to be ready in a month (Power meet in Sweden!)

The "Rod"! Just came back from paint, just need reassembly and new carpets. Almost everything is new and the driveline is 350TPI/700r4.







The 1967 Camaro RS. Swapped out the old TH350 and put in a 4L60, new shifter and exhaust (Getting 4-link, moser rearend etc etc)





Then the 4L60 trans decided to be stuck in first (New trans). Luckily, the TV cable bracket was loose and with some fine tuning, it had all 4 gears and lockup again.




And at last, done some work on "St?lmarken".

Down to bare metal and epoxy:



Por-15 and "body seal":

 
Long time since last update now, been busy with American steel lately :p

This thing blew 2 engines, but looks cool as hell now with coilovers!



Ended like this :p



The Ford ended up like this:



And "St?lmarken" got some love last week...













Need to tackle the floorpans and both the rockers now, then I can say it's almost ready to be scrubbed down and paintes. Well, the roof looks like sh*t, so need to massage that some... :p
