Today I had time to do something... I removed left front fender and found this small hole. It looks like this when finished with lead.



Another hole was quite a sad wiew... Someone had made this when installed new radio antenna. A direct opening to foot well!



There are so much burning stuff under the dashboard, so I soldered the "coin" I made. It is waterfproof too...

If everyone had metal working skills like that, just think how many eagles and other classics would not have gone to the crusher.

I´ve been busy... and haven´t had enough time to work with my cars... Sad isn´t it. And now when I have time, it is freezing. 30 degrees below zero (-22 F)...   :help:

I have removed some isolation mat. And that is what I found...  :banghead:

Yesterday it was coldest day of this winter.  Here in Finland we have the Winter Oldtimer Rally. And it was yesterday... -32 degrees below zero... COLD... It kept me away from my garage, but didn´t keep those gear heads out of the roads.

Wow great pictures, especially considering how cold it was. I think all of my pics would have been blurry because of me shivering! I think my favorite is the old jeep wagoneer, although all the cars look great.
