Our first car
1
July 18, 2024Ready to start2
July 18, 2024The first parts of the engine in place. The radiator was placed against the mudguard, So not the best place to cool an engine. Once were were driving on a German motorway and ended up in a traffic jam. The engine began to overheat so we had turn the heating to full, while it was over 25 degrees outside!3
July 18, 2024The airfilter and some extra parts added. This kit has a lot of parts that were not present in our car,4
July 18, 2024Top view. Always very confronting when you take a picture this close-up: you see a lot of things you don't want to see 🙁5
July 18, 2024Some parts for the interior. It was difficult to find the correct colour: it was a metallic colour officially described as green but my wife was convinced it was blue. The inside was dark blue. Our car didn't have storage room on the inside of the doors, but next two the rear seats there were two storage places. We called them"Kotsbakken" (vomitboxes). Can't remember why. You can also see the pedals, accelerator, brake and clutch. The gearstick, the steering column, the hand brake and two safetybelts.
A nice story about the handbrake. When my wife once drove the car, she pulled the handbrake and managed to get it vertical! Somehow it had come loose from its fittings. The yellow tape is meant to become the rugs.
