Hmm the white tooper is remowed, before fixing the brakes    " appearance before funktion/safety" 

Very common whit those toppers on pickups and small trailers here in Sweden , especially in the winter  due to wet frozen tools whit rust on them.

I'll keep it in storages takes 5 minutes to put it on when needed

Nice profile pic you got there Bluenotenick "we are Motörhead and we play ROCK N ROLL":jammin:

Rubber , plastic tubes  electrical connections:dry: Pete , had to replace some going over the fuel injection .

looooong hiatus, had to goggle that :laugh: Lazy copy/paste ? 

Usally its the rust thats the big problem around here  ,but looks like it can be saved. Thats before looking under the carpet :crossfingers:

The plan is to keep it running and do a restoration bit by bit.

Great forum/club :thumbsup: you are doing a fantastic job THANKS!

Hi Coolwind   rock n roll and Indy 500 :))   nope, theres no Metric Ton emblem but  a Dealer emblem .

Guess the tax rules roadtax and drivinglicens rules" laws" here in Sweden  is behinde that ,i belive most of the Comanches have a max load off 700-800 kg in registration papers.

This is only a paper product and not what the cars/trucks was built to carry, all types of Comanches got about  the same max load.

Maby theres a bunch of Metric Tons emblems in some old warehouse that the importer company  owned here in Sweden .

The importer also put on some real ugly turnsignasl extra lamps in back of the truck (rules are orange turnsignal if the car is newer then about 1970)

And licens plate is to big so its scratching the tailgate:mad: 

I'll take a pic of it tomorrow

 

Did get the brake parts i need today att the local carparts shop they had all parts in stock accept the parkingbrake wires  THANK YOU Cherokee :thumbsup: 

33 ℉ in my open blue sky garage need to fix front brakes and get inside before it start snowing:bowdown:

Ok, thats nice  Gjeep . did notice the striping but i belived it was put on the car by some pre owner  not original hmmm striping on the hood is i bad shape  have to consider doing somthing better then removing it then :thumbsup:.

I had a 82 or 83 Diesel rabbit (car version of the Caddy) a few years ago.  Had a manual transmission.  They're a bit rare here in Indiana USA.  You usually see diesels more than gasoline versions more often.  I also had a VW Vanagon which I had converted to burn used vegetable oil.  Smelled like fried chicken all the time.
