General: - I`m still here but.....

I haven`t touched Sven for 3 years now and he has been languishing in a garage but he has been dragged out to a mate`s place to get some welding done and hopefully put into a roadworthy condition. He was looking quite nice until the back axle gave out and I put him away for a while -

I feel so guilty about abandoning him but my dosh has been put into another cause over the last 2 years.
My name tag holds a clue -

Now all my money has been spent on the Chevy my next goal is to get the `Zon up and running for next year.
I am torn between just doing the basics and using it or getting a total rebuild which will be costly.

Gorgeous looking car that Chevy, very nice indeed..........

What size rims and tyres on the Volvo ??

Alf ista · Oct 8th, 2013, 22:24

Estate is looking good, like the wheels.
But love the Chevy! Very nice, no wonder you have been distracted...

I think the rims are 6 inch with 175 15`s on the front and 8 inch 205 15`s on the rear. the rims were actually destined for a Chevy truck but the owner didn`t like them. They are multi-hole Chevy and American Ford so they will fit our Amazons.

Thanks..looks good.

Over here theres a big interest in american iron, Have been to a few car meets up and down the country but they're a bit more mobile here as in Hillclimbing events with their vintage pieces..great fun

Static events seem to be the english norm...all spit and polish ZzzzZZzzz

Some gorgeous metal there, I watch 'Fast and Loud' and the owner Richard has a guy comes from Sweden and always buys cars from him because of the following over there.

Oh yes, they love the American stuff in Sweden. The show to go to is the Vasteras Big Power Meet. Went to it once and to use an Americanism....it was awesome!!!
