Today I did some cleaning up: I wire brushed and painted the drivers floor, wire brushed and painted the bottom of the rear window opening.. No pics, but I guess there is nothing too see anyway :D

Then I wanted to remove some bumps from the front of the car. There was some damage in the hood, right in the front peak of it. There is a reinforcement under the hood panel, so I had no access to hammer the bumps.I didn't want to cut anything just now so  I just cleaned the area, welded some holes and applied a lump of filler. And I forgot to take pics :/ 

But there was more:

Maybe this damage was from the same accident with the hood´s.
I removed the parking light to get access to the back side. Then some hammering...

Then I welded and smoothed the cracks:

There was more damage on the fender:

So, more hammering...

There sharpest low spot is still there, but it's good enough.

I have done some little things to the Buick. Like installing a central locking system.


 

And the vent windows are basically finished,  they just need the weatherstripping.

 I took the patterns of the side glass pieces to a glass shop, they should be ready in a couple of weeks.

My other project has been waiting for an inspiration. I hope I get it after Motohörhö does his magic and gets it running and I hear the sound of turbocharged engine.

 
The bike has parts from 2008 Fireblade, 2007 Yamaha R1, Mitsubishi TD04 turbocharger etc. After my first ride with a turbocharged bike I knew I had to have  (build) one. Actually this isn´t my first charged bike project, but I hope I´ll finish this one :D
Here´s the first:

I lost my intrest with it, but now I hope I´d still had it :/ 

Ok the holidays are over, time to get  some more work done...
Now I think starts the worst part thet comes with the chopped roof: Getting all the little things done :/
Heres the vent window frame:

Its quite easy to take apart, and modify.
Here it is after 49 mm removed, and shortened a few more mm ;)

Here is the lower adjustment point. I had to grind the hole in the door a little to get enough movement for the window frame.

And here is the frame ready. I also cut the trim, it fits quite nicely.

Exept the weatherstripping channel is too short :( I try to avoid welding a piece in between those two channels, it´s not easy to weld such thin stainless.

I had to buy some more paint, the first one was just too light blue. The guy at the shop was really helpfull and mixed me many different blues, before getting (almost) the right one :D

 Looks better!! The roof is painted, the rear quarter is the "original" color.

And here is one more picture of the roof. Yes, I´m going to leave it like that! I want the look of an old "barn find custom from the 60´s"..

Heres a few pics of the window channels. Luckily there were many adjustments for the channels so I didn´t have to make many modifications. The front channel for the door window moved forward of course, so I had to modify the lower attachement point. Also the window stops hade to move up.

  I also had to earn some more money for my project :D :D :D
Here is a Suzuki Intruder tank, widened about 9cm. Really p.i.t.a to do :/
