Parcipated in a local offroad meeting: All kinds of cars Wrangler YJ,Suzuki Vitara, Suzuki Samurai, Grand Cherokee, Hummer H3, Blazer K5, Tgb13 X2, Lada Niva, Some Toyotas, Mercedes G-wagen and 2 UTV. Had to use the winch two times to rescue myself.

Really nice Comanche. What front axle will you use now? Dana 30 With bigger u-joint or a dana 44?

Ready for MuskelRock-Festival :)

:agree: Made a 1/10 R/C car..

Hehe yeah they seem to be good race cars. In sweden we have a historical racing championship (Tarmac) with cars up to 1000cc and older then 1965. There are a couple of Saabs there. But the 970cc Mini Cooper are alot faster :( The first rocker is finished. Someone have been living here.....

Well it is pretty common with modified Volvos here ;) Everything from Keith Black V8 too Mazda wankel but i guess the most common is B230 Turbo (Volvo 940 Engine) I had a 57 PV444 for many years. Converted it to 12V, stuck in a B20 with Webers, and put 150K on it in three years. Great cars. If you like 2-smokers how come you didn't pick up a Saab? Had a few of those too with the three cylinder 850cc engine. Prices and parts should be reasonable for them in Sweden, si? Thats Cool! I am not really a fan of 2-stroke i just wanted a Trabbi :) Saab is a bit to Common here and i like odd cars. I guess that you were the only one with a saab 2-stroker in your town ;)

After 5 minutes the car look like this inside: And tomorrow the sheet metal parts from Germany arrive :)

Thats right, it is some kind of cotton material i think. And yes it is a 2-stroke I agree with you! Nice with a Lada Driver! I have a Lada Samara as daily driver

Back from a winter trip in Iceland. Everything is bigger over there, even the tourist-busses... Approx 50" tire

850kg or 1873lb

Sweden

Here you have a search on Swedish biggest marketplace. http://www.blocket.se/hela_sverige?q=&cg=1020&w=3&st=s&ps=&pe=&mys=&mye=1969&ms=&me=&cxpf=&cxpt=&gb=&fu=&cxdw=&ca=21&is=1&l=0&md=th&cb=41&cbl1=0 Then you can use Google.com to translate the ads I am not a Volvo Expert but the prices is something like this: You could get a legal and drivable for around 2000 USD But one in Good condition with no rust is more like 4000-5000USD and if it is a Sport version in Perfect condition it is something like 12000USD and up

Nice to see a good looking Manche this side of the Pond

I wanted one more car but didnt have much cash.... so i bought a Trabbi The Plan is to take it on a Roadtrip to Berlin. I have checked/repaired the fuel and ignition system, after that i fired up and i took it for a test drive. The tires have one flat side (no air for 10 years) so it was a bit bumpy No brakes except e-brake The rear door only have one hinge You can't open the driver side from outside The passenger door is always "open" The hood opened itself when i shifted in to 3rd gear the heat exchanger had alot of old leaf inside that caught fire when the engine got hot. It also have alot of rust. other than that i think it is in great condition and you could do burnouts :) Now i am drinking Russian Standard and search the Web for sheet metal.

I will go back to Iceland in New years Eve so there will be more Van picture, hopefully in the snow! Here are my "Wagoneer" friends Facebook page https://sv-se.facebook.com/Cherokee.Woody Thanks!

One of the best Manche!

Thanks: JBAIN and KNEVER3 Now I have mounted air outlet on the bumper and built nerf-bars. Did some wheeling today: Close encounter Suzuki in the mud Wrangler Tj with portals (this part was easy for the first and second car, then it looked like this...) Life is tough with straight axles... (non portals) for a couple of more pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/huricane4/with/15610423350/

The new tires are mounted! And it drives really good, NO death wobble :)

And a "artistic" photo....

Will pickup the Beadlockring from the powdercoating this friday and will hopefully recive my Stainless Steel bolt the same day :)

Thanks! Will upload some manche pictures soon.... The new tires and rim are almost ready LT385/70R16 = 37.73"x15.35" 16"x12" Steel Rims with Alu Beadlock and i am also working on the stroker engine.

And now i am home again :)
