Im using Fulda Carat Extremo 225/50 R15 91W on 9" fuchs.

Transporting the Yokos from central Stockholm to the Airport using only public transport was "interesting"...







Thankfully I have a very patient and understandig girlfriend..

Wow, it is great that your car has found a new home with a loving craftsman. Nice work, and nice girlfriend. I love the Gulf Blue color.

[Flieger]

Very nice.

Keeeewwl! Love the Gulf Blue! Hope to see it on the road sometime!

[JFSandberg]

Thank you for nice feedback!

I guess I have to post some more boring pictures of the welding process then..





Old and new floor section.









Some more home made parts..

[JFSandberg]

When I am not welding on rusty old german cars I work as an industrial designer, so I am really deep down a true computer nerd..

Of course I had to make my own speedo and tackometer in illustrator





And made a rough 3D model to help me choose the colour.











etc..

Don't get me wrong, this car is awesome and the fabrication is fantastic, but the best part of this thread is the GF helping you carry tires through the airport - love it!! She's a good one!
