Oops!

Sorry for the gap boys, I kinda forgot to update :hehe:
Anyway, I've done a bit and thought I'd just drop a bunch of pics below and then add a few lines about it at the end ...

The turnaround

Now the mess they made gone, and it already feels a bit better.

I had a timlapse video planned for this week, but because of a troublesome harddrive i pretty much lost all the footage. :/
Better luck next time I guess, but I'll share the little I got to keep ...

Creeping up

My own little start-date was the first weekend in November, and so far so good.
Everything have been ready to go for a while, so I've not felt any preassure to get things done yet.
But last weekend I just felt like tinkering, so I went ahead and got things going.

I did receive ...

Ready, Set, Go!

I did manage to get my workshop cleaned up and organized this week.
And with that out of the way I finally pushed both my wifes car and my wounded warrior in to dry. :rolleyes:

I've had a car stolen before, and can empathize... that's a horrible feeling.
Looks like it's fairly simple stuff to fix, pain in the ass and aggravation not withstanding.
Keep us up to date as you make progress, it's always a good read.

Yeah it wasn't fun. I've cooled off now, but I was pretty ...

Is anyone still curious about this project?
I hope so, because it's time to plan for the winter 2016/17

So last season I kinda fell of the grid. As you ...

Sitrep

The car is now FINALLY legal again. A long, SLOW, expensive process has come to an end. I got the go-ahead on Monday so I've been driving it everyday this week.
Everything seems to be working fine apart from the gearbox that now have developed some leakage from a driveshaft, and a small ...

inb4 'stickerbombing is stupid'...
My fenders are absolute garbage, so I thought stickerbomb wrap was better than see through...
And I'm having the car repainted next year anyways so it's just for this summer.

Just a small pic-dump today, but I'm trying to get a vlog together 'til Monday.

BOV recycle-pipe (what's the name I'm looking for?)
Also first time welding aluminum, maybe shouldn't have started with 2mm :hehe:

If someone was barging in to my car like that, they're getting a knuckle sandwich...

About the fender, why not just get it vinyl wrapped or plastidipped for the season?

Yeah, I ended up ordering some stickerbomb vinyl. Thought that I might as well have some fun with it

Driveable?

I have a shit-ton of pics for you all today. I've also been recording some video, but that will be another day.

Anyway, I've been focusing really hard on getting the car ready for the road the last week. I haven't encountered too much trouble.
A couple of issues, but most of the time ...

Hey guys, quick question!

My fenders are complete poo... I actuallky threw them out at one point, but had to fish them back out of the dumpster when I realized that I needed them a little bit longer..

I'm not gonna spend time and money on buying new ones and painting them since the whole car ...

Titel?

Hey guys, it's not long now!

looks great!

Sure didn't feel very pro

Nice to see that it seems to be working for you!

Funny coincidence, I accidentally cut my reverse lights to.
I found the connector for it in my connector-bin the other day

So damn awesome.
You should post this to /r/battlewagon!

Thanks man!
I'm so close to the finish line (for the season) and the recent good weather got me really pumped up!

Mount the lights on the front of the roof-rack

There will be a gap. The bracket is not meant to locate the injectors, but rather to prevent them from pulling out.
