Finally a new update!
I installed the valves to the tank.
And then fit the whole package in the trunk, seems to fit ok.
I painted the cups for the air bags...
And installed the rear bags to check everything is fine. I took the old spring out and just screwed the upper cup to the bolt on the frame.
Looks low enough.
Now I need to modify the exhaust to get more clearance :( One modification leads to an other, and summer is coming...

I´ve been doing some little stuff like fitting the trim etc.
Here´s the hood and fender after some corrective measures:
I also have something to do in the trunk:
I´m waiting for the rest of the air suspension parts from http://lowtoys.com/...
I also got the windows for the doors and quarters. What a relief they fit :D :D
I still need some u-shaped rubber to install the windows and weatherstirpping for the vent windows so I can install the door skins.
I also need to get a new windshield to Kuttilan autolasi. I take the old one there and they make a smaller from that.

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 :/
