Fenders in da house

Finally purcased a set of new repro fenders from Tiller Bil.

Just some minor scratches and dents, and paintwork needed.

looks good so far, now just the time to mount them required…

NOS Swedish vintage child carseat

Just arrived in the mail, A swedish vintage Child carseat. Type Lyx 66 Blå

with the box.

Will be a nice addition to my collection, and will not be used to transport my son,

The hooks for fastening the seat over the back of the seat-back looks a little weak.

Just arrived in the mail

Progress...

Long time no update...

But have done the following:
- ripped out the old carpets and rubbersmats
- removed surface runst in the floors inside
- rust-proofed and paited the floor
- removed the headlight bucket from one of the front fenders to remove and repair rust damage.
- refurb pedal assembly
- general cleaning

The plans are:
- install the pedal assembly again
- clean the car and install new soundproofing and TMI carpet kit
- drive the car to winter storage
- fix the front fenders
