Clock is 06:00 in the morning, I am at the shop and need to do some last work stuff and after that load the car and then we are heading for Tierp Arena!! Oh Yeah!!! 😀

Yesterday we started to load the bus and trailer and really late last night we did the last small stuff on the Chevelle and around 02:00 it was all done! Feels  really good to have everything done except for some tuning stuff!

  
Down on the ground again after some chassis adjustment and weight checked on the scales.

Some work pictures from the last days below!

  
Got fuel!? 

   
  

     

X-link fabrication, did update the rear end with an x-link instead of the old wishbone to have less sideway movement on the rear axle.

   
   

Old out!

   
 

New in! 😀

   
 

Jocke was here and did some….. Well was cute at least! 😉

   
   

Rear drive shaft hoop fabricating!

 

Max shows his graffiti skills!! 🙂

   
  

Did cut off the wheelie bars just to have something to do…! 😉

   

 

Max fixed some small stuff and changed the worn doubler plates on the front end.

   
 

DONE!!! 🙂

  
Pink Glenn are ready to hit the road to Tierp!

 

The past weekend I spent about 40 hours in the shop working on the car, preparing stuff around it for next weekend and cleaning up the mess from the last couple of weeks working…

Below some work pictures.

  

What a mess… 

   

  
 

The lady starts to get old…

Last week when I was looking trough some stuff on the car I found a little movement in two of the uniballs in the 4-link so I decided to change them all and now I am pretty lucky that I decided that… Two bolt holes started to be really bad so I needed to repair the brackets also..! Glad I found it this way instead of hitting the guard rail with the Chevelle! 🙂 “You really have to love the shit if you want to keep it alive!”

 

Done, and ready to take care of some shaky rounds again! 😉
  
I did try the driver suit and for some reason it is bigger this year, does that mean that I have lost some weight!? 😀 Anyway, it still smells like shit… But I really look forward to put it on again in about 5 days!

 

The new belly pan under the Bruno is done and in place, thanks to Erik Bengtsson for helping me out with cutting and bending the sheet metal!

 

Max have made an awesome job with Olga and repairing all stuff on her, last week he took her to the car inspection and it turned out really good, so she is now ready for the road in 2015!

   
  

Cutting off the flange on the zoomies.

  
Machining and fabricating all the time!!

   
 

Spent some time in front of the computer and started on a new fuel set up and also a new set up for the 4-link now when we changed to converter.

  
The 4-link bars are back in the chassis with new uniballs.

   
  

 

About 7 hours of cleaning and organizing of the shop and the spare parts and the stuff that are going with us to Tierp this coming weekend!…

 

It was a really nice day outside on Sunday, to bad I spent it inside the shop… 😉 

Yesterday we started up the Chevelle and all the new stuff works just fine, we got some small stuff left to do before its all done. But still it is almost two weeks to the test weekend at Tierp Arena and I can say almost done!! That feels really strange!!! 😀 😀

  

Outside the shop for the first time since September last year!

 

Nice ass!!

  

Transbrake button in, clutch pedal out! 😉

   

   

Fabricating some stuff to solve the problem with different pressure needed to the Lenco and the Bruno.

  

New seat belts!

  

New Hoosier tires on!

 

Nice view!! 🙂

 

New black hoses everywhere, looks really good!!

 

Some instructions… 😉

 

  

  

  

  

A really messy shop after a crazy week of work!…

 

John washed Olga so now she looks really pretty again! 😀  

More and more stuff are getting done, the past week I have spent A LOT of hours on the car and the Chevelle is almost done so we can make a warm up!! 😀

   

Third member back in place!

 

We have a transmission with oil pan in our car… Weird… 😉

 

New hoses, now all black!!! 😀

 

Doing stuff!! 

 

Wonder why it’s good to change the burst panel now and then…

 

Rear shocks back on the car!

 

New blower bag and restraints, looks good!!!

 

All hoses in place, drive shaft and tunnel mounted, done deal with the transmission!! 

 

  

Max cleaned the Chevelle, looks really good now!! 🙂

  

Nice messy work bench….

  

Jocke takes care of some electrical stuff!

  

Now we will have working EGT:s on all cylinders!

  

Max is all done with Olga, only thing left is the inspection!

The whole transmission (bellhousing to driveshaft) is about done and in the car, the engine is all done, the blower is assembled and mounted on the engine, we still got the rear axle to assembly, a lot of air and fuel hoses to put together and some electrical things to figure out. But I sure starts to see the light in the end of the tunnel!! 😀

 

The blower is back where in should be!

 

  

Some maching of course!! 😉

 

The complete transmission is in place!

 

Today I found out that the deal with Pros Test & Tune 9-10 May at Tierp Arena is done!! So, about 16 days from now it’s time to burn some rubber and start testing out our new stuff!! Yeah baby!!!! 😀 😀
