Last time i wrote about the car, i had just started the restoration. Now i have finally finished the car and it is now road legal. It was not easy, lots of nagging problems came out of nowhere every time i fixed something. But now it is done and i am happy with the result.

Last weekend we had our first longer maiden voyage with the car. We drove to Thansen in Middelfart to pick up parts for a new project… More on that later.

All was good, and then the fuel needle started dropping rapidly. In a span of minutes it dropped from full to half empty. I was quite worried, but there was nothing i could do, i was stuck on the motorway. When we arrived at our destination i switched the car off and on again, and the needle returned to the correct position. Italian electrics, what can i say.

Car for sale

Now that i have new daily driver and i have WAYYY too many cars, i will be putting the old daily up for sale. If anyone is interested, do not hesitate to contact me. Currently via email or signal.

Here is a random pic of it from last summer when i was at the annual Bella Italia meet in Nyborg.

The new project

As i teased earlier, i have a new project. This time it’s a joint project with 3 other friends and a very tight deadline. We have bought a camper and we are going to use for our summer vacation trip down through Germany, Austria, Italy etc. As far away as we can manage in 1 week.

The camper is a 1978 Volkswagen LT 35. It has a 2.0 liter petrol engine and a 4 speed manual gearbox. It is not in the best condition, all of the interior has been ripped out and it needs a new frame. Lots of work to be done, but we are hopeful we can make it.

I am almost too excited about this project, and i will try to keep you updated on the progress, but my track record thus far does not enstill much confidence. But i will try :)

Later weirdos!
