Swedish yungster

[GvEman]

Hi I am Anton and I am 18 years old. And have taken my driving licence recently and this is my first car. It’s not a very common thing in Sweden that you drive an American car when you are 18 years old. But I do… I love this car.. as a cruising car. But for handling it sucks. So in a year or two I am going to buy a Camaro instead.

Well here are some photos of my car.

Before:

My dad at the wheel.

After:






What do you guys think about my small car?

This is how the trunk looks after my friend had fun with it:

What is the history on this car? In other words, how did it get to Sweden, how long has it been there?

Welcome my fellow countryman.

That would make a great ProTouring car!

Well the history is simple.. bought in sweden in 1977 and it have been driven in sweden ever since. I am the 17th owner or... 18 to be correct because my dad is still the "owner" (mutch cheaper that way). Well Me and my dad have restored it, with a total repaint. And the engine is also reconditioned by us.

But i dont know what to do next.. shocks would be an alternative for bether handling...

Welcome. Don't get down on yourself. That is a fine project to start out with. Live and learn. Keep you eyes open to the mods some of these guys do and what might work for you on this website.

Good luck,
