Hey Guys!

First of all.. I'm so sorry I haven't written a reply earlier.

Second.. THANK you for your kind and very nice words.
Can't tell you how much it means to hear it.. I'm very very happy with the outcome of the car. And reading your posts makes it quite emotional.. I'm sad I know! LOL

the work is not 100% done yet, but so far the car is out on the roads and driving it is an absolute delight. Just the feeling of driving in a tunnel and change gear and hear the sound from the solex is amazing.

what needs to be done more, the hood needs some work done to it.
sadly I managed to rip it myself :(
The inside of the doors need a replace, and it's hard coz there's not that many left here in Sweden. Anyone who might have some laying around?

Can't actually tell you how many hrs it's taken to have it done.
But the car went to the garage in early March of 08 and came out from there in the end of April 09.

until next time.. THANK You!

Uffe
 
One of the thing I've had a problem with since I started this renovation was the interior.
As the door panels on the car I bought was in a bad state and needed to be refitted.
been searching high and low for these, which some of you might have seen on here.
Did eventually got ahold of a pair from Norway :D
Did in the end also buy a whole car just to be able to get all the bits and pieces I needed.
Not that many around these days.
Did also change the mechanism for opening the doors and also being able to lock the doors.

I had a pair of the Recaro seats in the loft laying around, so I fitted these, however these were in black.
The rest of the interior is in Grey/black so in order to color coordinate I decided to refit the original ones I got when I bought the car in Jan 08.
What a difference it made :D looks very much like the other 130 I've got! :D
However the driver seat is wear and torn and need to be fixed which will happen sometimes soon, might have found a place that can fix the top aswell.
