Cal-look... it rules

Yesterday my new carb arrived

I got my new 34 pic-3 reproduction carb yesterday, and it's nice to have something new and shiny in Spot (the rest of the engine is parts I had lying around). Since it got two vacum ports I'll give it a shot with Spots original distributor, which also have two vacum ports :) I don't have time this weekend, so it'll have too wait for another week.

Progress... slowly...

There's actually some progress on the Squarback, or more presicly on the bumpers :) Started with some polishing today, but there's plenty more. Next year... it may be back on the road (and at least the bumpers will be shining).

Budget painting!

I recently bought "How to paint your car on a budget" from Amazon, and recommended it to Vemund... and look, he bought it to :) It's the best book about car painting I've seen so far. And it's actually written so you can do it on a budget... other "home painting" books goes on about a lot of expensive stuff you really don't need.

On Sunday I ordered a new 34 pict 3 carburettor for Spot... I was actually just checking prices, and suddenly I had placed an order ;) Hopefully this will sort out the troubles I've been having. Hope it'll arrive my mail tomorrow!

I've been bizzy the last days as you can see :) I've started to clean and polish the lights on the Squerback. It's clear that all the rubber has to go, 40 years has taken its toll it seems. Also started dismantling of the bumpers, and they're also in need of a good cleaning and polish.

Where did this year go...

Oh my... it's almost gone a whole year since my last update. And I can't say I've got much done one the Squareback. I rebuilt Spots engine tough... will post pics soon... promise!
