A first glance at it in the garage.


The car is mine. 13th sept 2000.

   
       

A quick look in the engine room.


 Bringing it home.

   
       

 After a good high pressure steemwash of the underside, was all the rust welded.


 Some well known rust spots as you see.
Now welded and protected with primer. 

   
       
   
       

   More known spots.

 Early test drive in 2001.
   
       

Preparation for a new paint job is ready.

Waiting for a new coating in silver.

Still waiting for the paintjob.
   
       

No paint, all bare metall.

At last, the car is back after the paintjob.
   

Putting the car together has started.

The maiden trip went to Denmark.
Here, left, at the Olufsen estate, where the company of B&O, Bang&Olufsen, once started.

Due to new projects and shortage 
of space I had to sell the Silver. 
It was with sadness in my heart I let it go.
The new owner, Mr Burgin, 
lives in Cincinnati USA.

To the right me and the Silver at the harbour of Gothenburg waiting to drive onbord for the trip to the US. 

 

On this picture, taken by Mr Burgin, 
the Silver has arrived 
to the harbour of Boston 
a couple of weeks later. 

Nice blue sky!
A picture is taken along the trip 
between Boston and Cincinnati

Some of my other Projects  
   

A SAAB-Sport project, 
a two-stroke from 1964.
It has been standing on this spot for years.

The racing project, 
a two-stroke SAAB Sport from 1962.
It is to be The Jensen Bros. racer.
The V4 rally project, 
a genuine group 2 rally car.
It has rolled 4 times in this crash
and is not in it´s best shape.
That´s all for now!
