En sväng förbi Piece Performance och Hans nya dragracing bil. 1,6 L låter vass!
A bunch of 1950’s gaspump ready for restoration. Ljungmans Verkstäder, made in Sweden. They have all been sandblasted to baremetal now and bodywork started. Preping for primer and then paint. Will all be painted in diffrent gascompany.
Got inspired to restore my vintage gaspump a 1958 Ljungmans Star 87. Electricmotor, pump, wires etc was removed by me earlier so just the rest of the stuff needed to be taken apart and cleaned and highpressure washed. Lots of old diesel everywhere. Going to be a BP (British Petroleum) again like it was new 1958.

Made a clip from this weekend, Chevrolet 3600 pickup from 1949.
Visited the now world famous junkyard with hundreds of old cars here in Sweden. A magic place to walk around and LOOK at, not cut everything up. Really sad to see alot of cars that have been losing their frontclips, rearwindows and roofs. It was so much nicer here 15 years ago before it got famous on internet and everyone started to bring their hacksaws. Soon nothing left to see…
Went to Lesjöfors this weekend and dropped by this neat place with alot of cool things. Not so much for museums but this was well done and intresting, this local town produced lots of metal and products (specially springs for cars and machinery) back in the day and the town growed fast and was full of life. But today production is in China and the place is now like a ghostown. If you driveby Lesjöfors in Sweden, make sure to visit!
Broken pieces of yesterdays life… 
Placed the working Coke machine and the new gaspump on the upper floor yesterday. Take a brake and have a Coke! 
A short videoclip of the finished Coke machine restoration, we did during Mars 2016.
Today I started to sand down the black surfacer/primer so it was all smooth! Found some new dents that needed to be fixed also. And when it was all done it was time for shooting the Coca-Cola red paint. It was a hardtime to find the paintcode. Maybe it is trademarked. But the paintshop sells paint directly to the Coca-Cola company in Sweden so they had all the codes. It turned out great, looking really good. Next up is mounting back all hardware, trims and logos etc. The sign was in metal on the machine but Im going to convert it to a light up sign instead and using modern LED lightning. Also going to check up the compressor and all wirings before its ready to be put in service.
New project a genuine Coca-Cola vending machine. Hope to have it restored in record time. Nice feature to have in a garage. More pics will come!
