last midsummer at the cottage.

this place is going to be history, i will move forward, 

to a more suitable place, for my cars.

but maybe somewhere in the lohja-region... who knows.

there's many things to do.

agent orange and the red rooster

 both of these needs some action. the red one needs the front brake, assembled at the garage, and then back to the cottage. to put it in its place. i don't like the cold weather and working outside. but got to do that, then its done. and as i drive a audi quattro, i can even come back from the cottage, the down hill to the cottage is a bit icy and slippery. and good news with the orange bug, as the transmission is good and ready,  so it might be best to get the bug from cottage to more suitable place to change the gearbox. more of that later. have to go to garage now. ciao!

Jimi is concentrating in the stoplights

waitng for a sunny day to assemble the brake parts.

Dodge D100 "ex-town panel"

 

i wanted to go to the Lahnajärvi cruising with the dodge, 

so i would see what needs to be taken care of, to get this pickup to the inspection.

the carburetor is fine now, and the engine runs smoothly.

when i started the trip from somero to saukkola...

the brake pedal went down. there's some brake power but not much.

have to check for leaks, and take care of bleeding as well.

the engine temp meter didn't work... and the engine started to make noises...

well i got safely to our cottage, but there's something to work out.

Winter is coming - AGAIN!

 The summer was short in Finland, as always. but i really enjoyed it. And as my plans change like always, this time i didn't change the clutch to my panel van, and i didn't change to the alternator, but maybe at 2023 if we are in some kind of shape. so the DODGE, PLYMOUTH and VW panel van is now sleeping at somero, its a long, cold, twisty and a very dark road to the somero, but we made it, even with the summer tyres, bad lights, no heater and - 1 degrees... 

Wheels of change....

how lame is that for a subject? hehehe, well this time its a nice to check the wheels, what suits and whats a  bit out of style. what do you think? theres one wheel set to try after this. but they are under my Porsche 911 RSR wannabe.

the problem is that this Dodge has small bolt pattern at the rear and 

big in front. + BMW adapters/spacers

for the rear theres, slot mags with 275-15, AR torque trust with 275-17 wheels, 

and grey torque thrust with 275 but with chevy pattern.

and for the front 235 wide ones.... that might be the thing.

except it needs lowering down... but not now.
