Wedelslund, træf- og køretøjsdag
Jeg var i dag et smut ude på Wedelslund, for Wedelslund Gods Car Club havde arrangeret træf- og køretøjsdag. Rygterne derude sagde, at op mod 600 biler deltog i arrangementet. Der var i hvert fald mange, og det var et utrolig flot og meget besøgt arrangement. Jeg havde min 2-årige søn med på armen, så det blev et rimelig kort visit for vores vedkommende. Her er mine highlights...
En Lincoln Continental Cabriolet:
En type 3 "Notchback" - stadig min favorit VW:
En Volvo 210 - fin værkstedsvogn:
En Rolls var der også - herreværelse på hjul:
Højdepunktet for mig var denne BMW M1, der var gemt væk inde i laden (undskyld for den ringe billedkvalitet) - se det er en ægte drømmebil:
Min interesse for Triumph'er er stigende, blandt andet fordi min TVR jo gør brug af Triumph dele i relativt stor udstrækning. Jeg har eksempelvis overvejet fælgene her til min 3000M:
Sådan et sæt kunne efter min mening se fedt ud til trackdays og hillclimbs - 70'er club sport look. Men jeg har nu også spurgt på et sæt klassiske 5-spoke fælge fra Revolution.

Creme når det er bedst...
Min nye Volvo 740 har allerede befordret undertegnede og familie mere end 3.000 km. Vi har således rundet 370.000 km, bl.a. via en tur op til sommerhuset på Læsø, hvor Volvo'en imponerede med hvor utrolig meget grej + hund sådan et bagagerum kan sluge:
Bilen er utrolig komfortabel, og er især på motorvejen min gamle SAAB overlegen. Jeg har monteret min Pioneer radio inkl. iPod / iPhone opkobling, så der kan cruises i fuld komfort og spilles børnemusik ud af de 4 udmærkede standard-højtalere. Jeg fandt også det originale hundegitter på den blå, der nu er monteret mellem kabine og bagagerum. Endelig er der indkøbt olie og filter til et endnu forestående olieskifte...
Eneste irritationsmoment lige nu er en ujævn motorgang, når motoren startes i varm tilstand. Den står på en eller anden måde for lavt i tomgang og går ofte i stå. Det problem skal bare løses, for det er helt vildt irriterende, når jeg kører i byen! Min umiddelbare vurdering er, at fejlen skyldes en defekt lambda sonde eller en eller anden føler... På trods af tomgangsproblemerne har Volvo'en også bragt mig til Sjælland et par gange - senest i går - hvor jeg bare ikke kunne modstå chancen for at parkere ved siden af denne klassiker:

En VW 1200 i en creme lakering, der matchede farven på Volvo'en perfekt. Den fine type 1 var krydret med detaljer i en lækker brun kulør. Jeg kan ikke være præcis på stilarten, så det nærmeste jeg kommer er et california / rat / surfer agtigt look... Bemærk den bagerste siderude i førersiden, de brune fælge og tagbagagebæreren med surfbrædderne. Teksten på døren lød: "Custom - because stock sucks". I dette tilfælde vil jeg faktisk give ejer ret. Sådan en VW type 1 er bare mere spændende, når den er customized lidt...

Subynotch ?
Aldrig hørt om sådan en før? Heller ikke jeg. Men her forleden, da jeg surfede VW Notchbacks (som jeg nu gør engang imellem), faldt jeg over dette eksemplar på Speedhunters.com:
En 1973 VW 1600 L med Subaru EJ20G turbomotor og 220 hk - ombygget til vandkøling etc. Normalt vil jeg da foretrække en original bil. Men der er bare et eller andet over at montere en Subaru boxer-motor i en gammel VW.. Lige lidt flere billeder:

1981 Scirocco til salg
I dagens mail fra Bring a Trailer linkes der til en fin VW Scirocco. Bilen er totalrenoveret og ombygget med en tunet 1.8 turbo motor fra Passat = en ret hurtig sag!
Det er nu mest kombinationen af farve, BBS-fælge og det "clean" ydre der tiltaler mig:
Prisen er dog heftige 14.500 $ !! Her følger sælgers beskrivelse af den fine Scirocco:
Lets start from the beginning. The car was originally purchased for $2000 in running condition.
Exterior:
The car was completely stripped of all rubber, glass, wires for the $5000 paint job. After paint I installed a new headliner ($350 w/reciept) , all new rubber and a brand new Pilkington windshield ($275 w/reciept) and new rubber all around the car from Vintage Rubber. ($500). The duckbill look like new with no cracks ($300), the Euro Bumpers were almost new ($1000) The H1 and H4 head lights are new ($250), The taillights were NOS ($200)
Suspension:
Bilstein front Race Struts V36-0103 ($579.90 w/receipt) w Bonrath strut towers ($150) Bilstein Rear with ground control ($300) Race springs with 400/300 spring rate ($200) No Sway bars
Under the hood:
02A 5 speed manual trans with Peliquin Limited Diff. (Paid 2251.97 w/reciept). It was completely build by Kraftwerks. This trans maybe has 500 miles on it.
1.8t abf from 99 passat. (paid $1500) This engine only had 35,000 miles when I got it and I only put 500 miles on it. The car runs on the original passate computer and and wiring harness. Each connection has been soldered for reliability. The turbo was purchased new ($900) and only has 500 miles on it. Turbo pipes all custom ($300) Intercooler 29x5.75x3 Spearco Race ($325 w/reciept), Downpipe is a Techonics 1.8t a1 for Scirocco1 Noncat ($393.50 w/reciept) Exhaust 2.5 Early a-1 aluminized w/borla muffler ($371.50 w/reciept) Alternator is the new serpentine setup with the flat belt drive ($150). Brand new air meter 037-906-461-cx (252.98 w/receipt), this car has the aftermarket front reinforcement bar ($150) This bar keeps the front valence from breaking from all of the power and the car generates. WRD O2A motor mounts for A1 Scirocco and mechanical Slave Kit ($649.36 w/reciept) New Large radiator with aftermarket fans. ($200) New water pump. Cable shifter for 02A trans ($150) ECS Tuning Stage 1 Clutch kit w/lw steel flywheel ($429.68 w/reciept) 11 inch brake kit that was installed 2 months ago with only 20 miles on the front breaks and pads ($250) New Bigcrank battery purchased on 7/2/10 ($3.47 w/receipt)
Interior:
Recaro NOS Seats from 20 years ago. They came new in the box but they are period correct. ($850) Recaro/scirocco seat tracks ($175) The interior is complete with carpet clean dash with a limited amount of cracks 5 vdo gauges. No rear seats
This car has been garaged everyday for the last 5 years since I purchased it. Like I said I may have put 500 miles on it since I got it running. This car only gets better with age. You will not find another car for sale like this for a long time. Last time I checked I put $20,000 into it.
This is just the big stuff that I can remember. There aren't too many builds with almost all receipts and a full record of the build day by day year by year. Alot of love went into this labor. I built this car the way I did because I thought I was going to keep this car forever and give it to my son. (I'll build a new one in a few years.)
The only thing I can say bad about the car is it might need a new starter because sometime the solenoid sticks. The car starts like a new car on the first try even after the car sits for 3 months it starts on the first try. The whole car is in A condition. It's almost show quality. But I didn' want to built it too nice where I didn't want to drive it.
