  1. Summer has been to nice to be inside working on my project... However, a little progres has been made! Blasted and painted the electric fan-housing and its components, and it turned out quite well!! Also started work on the powersteering-pump. Well, beeing a novice in car-restoration, this pump turned out to be more advanced that I was prepeared for.....🤔 But I am starting to get an idea how to pick it apart!! By the way.... Does anybody know what kind of electric motor the fan has?? Mine is compleately without any numbers or tags.....🙄
  2. Interior is complete, but very crisp!! So I will be shipping it of to somebody who will take care of it. But not on this years budget...😅 My plan is to get the engine and the frame/undercarriage ready this winter.
  3. Some of the parts that has allready been blasted and some have just got the basecoat on, and some are painted too....
  4. Engine being pulled out and picked apart. About a month ago, it was delivered to the shop for cleaning etc.....
  5. The size of the pictures was so big I had to upload in portions...... First picture is when picking up the car and taking it home. Second is after getting it into the garage....
  6. Well, lets get started.... I have allways wanted to get an old car and restore it, but never knew what kind I wanted, but has allways been fund of the 50's. Living in the northern part of Norway kind of makes it hard to get parts as well. Today the internet is great for those things.... Anyway, I saw an ad in a Norwegian internett-site, and decided to take a look at the project. It was a 1958 Roadmaster 2dr ht. Not many left of these cars!! Once I met the car, it just spoke to me and told me to bring it home..... So I did!! In may, last year, I picked it up and started on the project. The frame was allready blasted and painted, and most of the rust was taken, so this was a good start for a beginner like me. The front of the car is off now, and the engine has been toren down and delivered to an engine-shop for cleaning and boring. This is a matching number car, so I really want to be able to use the original engine-block. I have also blasted and painted some of the engine components and also some of the torpedowall components. I also got a shipment of gaskets and kits for the front end, so this one is up next.
