[Walt]

So I played outside




There is still a lot to do.
But taking it for a ride sure boost motivation

Made some new brackets for the front bumper.


Upgrade the studs in the drums to M12×1,25 from the SF serie.



Stole the shocks and springs from my GTi
I was not happy with the way the mounted parts worked.


Also replaced the wheels for the GTi wheels.


Found a middle console.


Build a bracket for the screen wash tank



Welded it in place.



So the screen washer is worikng


And fixed my oil temp gauge.


Now enjoying my work.
And working out lots off things still to do

[Walt]

Sourced some switches



Now I have an interval wiper function


Really pleased with the way it handels.
Low in rev’s there is not to much power in the engine.
But with the plate style LSD in the gearbox.
There is lots of drive out of the corners

Because of the weather I drive on skinny 155 winter tires.
With lots of fun driving in heavy rain or puffy snow.
Its brings a big smile on my face.
Driving at speed limits is not to bad.
Because of the basic and small size of the car.
You get the feeling everything is way faster

Starting to use this litle car as intended




I always felt some air drawing inside my litle Swift.
Its is rear damaged at sometime
Had to work really hard.
To get the rear door closing and opening working.


Here you see the rear bumper mouinting point.
It up side intead of underneat the bumper





Happy to source a used rear door



It needed some work.









Need some new paint


Repaired the rear damage.











Now need to finish the new used rear door

looking good!! i like the flat floor- my do the same to my ’87- the back seat room is very small to begin with, and my rear seats are trashed !

[Walt]

Made a small upgrade.

Not finished the rear door jet.
Waiting for some higher temperatures for spraying .


Also repaired the doorhandle.

Still collecting parts.
