I must dig it out first to take a picture. It's some where with my other interior stuff.

Hello Swissmopar, What colour you are looking for? I have one green and one black. These are located in Finnland.

I was wondering what is that hole for under your steering column hole? Regards from Finland, Hai

My son did the winching to get it on my ramp truck. I neede to move the body to another location where I had the lift. On two post lift, the next move is down. It was unbelievably easy to get all this back into body this way. It took only 45mins to get it back on wheels this way and only...

When the K-member was removed I had to create something to keep the body movable. Same time it received the sandblasted and painted upper arms with new joints and bushings. Then suddenly the engine was together. It needed new bearings and crank was turned one step down. Parts for K-member were...

During Christmas holidays 2016 there was time to put the front fenders back after wash. Because the fixing of the engine was not even started, but I wanted to check the drive shaft lenght, I needed to mock up it some way. I had one extra 727 tail. With that and cross member I was able to proof...

There was wrong axle under the car. After my measurements I found out that it must be from A100, because the width and the double leaf pads. Someone has converted it for axle over the leaf. I have one correct width axle under my parts wagon. My friend helped my in spelling. Now it's correct...

Fuel tank had only some surface rust, but there was dents also because the car has been moved around with fork lift. I tried straightening it with some water pressure. First I supported the tank by one clamp, so that it would not plop and look like a potato. With some gentle hammer blows the...

The trade included also an nice replated rear bumper, but because it would stand out too much from the over all patina, just put into storage. So, it will wait until I paint the car some day. I decided to fix one from my parts wagon. That needed some fixing of mounts and slight polish. Then...

Thanks for wishes. We have some speed shops here in Finland and some companies focused to import spare parts. So, everything is available. But cost is another thing. European union is collecting about 5% customs for auto parts and Finland takes 24% VAT (value adding tax). Formula goes this way...

Thank you for welcomes everybody. I just started project thread about my wagon. I have about one and half years of project to report. Currently car runs on it's own power, but thread needs may posts before we get into state.

I think my wagon project might be worth of shearing. This 1969 Satellite wagon is under work in southern Finland. Project started when my friend called me in begin 2016 that he has something that might be interesting. Sure. He had this wagon what was imported from Arizona around 2007 and it has...

Thanks for every body. I got inspired by EJL's Coronet Wagon thread. That project has some similarities like keeping the out side as is. I'll try to start my project thread soon. That is something I have been thinking also. What more I get from 4D when I have already a wagon? Naturally 4d...

Greetings from Finland. After many years reading your board as outsider, I thought I must join now. I have currently 1969 Satellite 2d HT original 383 car and 1969 wagon now with 383. Decision was to concentrate to one year model and one level of cars. Should I seek for 1969 4D and convertible...
