Hope no one minds if I write in english no need for anyone else to unless you wanna!
My friend who just sold his house gave me his 62 amazon with 40,000km on it its rusty in the usual places and I am going to customize it ala lowrider style I have had one Amazon before when I lived in Sandviken I'll have to look for an old photo somewhere! many many people loved my car got rid of it years ago after an accident
!!!???!!! but I still collected parts, here are the photos!
I am going for a rat rod look until I can afford a decent metal flake paint job, and or paint it myself if someone locally will let me use their shop for a day or so ( I am also lookin for some shop space in Gävle area so if anyone knows anyone or anything tell meh!)
So far we have replaced the motor with a b20b that had dual solex carbs on it I believe, it ran like crap so I threw on my renovated Weber and aluminum intake runs like a dream now no smoke at all. we tor off the very rusty front end and lucky me had a pair of all steel favorite fenders to throw on we have 2 sets of early grills orignal all red back lights etc.
Now what has to be fixed so it will pass besiktning
both inner fender supports are rotted like hell! (So so Typical) I think I can get them new for 500 stk. been googling like hell all weekend, found different prices many different places since this will be a driver not a showroom custom I am not so concerned about it being perfect as no car ever is!
both rockerpanels and inner supports and both door bottoms need to be replaced, I have good a pair of good doors to steal the bottoms off of so they will be an easy repair.
The spare tire holder is shot! also typical!
I have a 67 front end/axle that is in great shape so we are going to swap it out and replace the motor and tranny mounts also.
the break lines will be replaced as they are original also and it's time!
As far as replacing the front inner fender supports and the rockers I can do it all in a 16 hr day easy, if there is any more serious rot in the undercarriage it will be a little longer but as far as my initial inspection outside and under it was rust preventative coated everywhere and there seems to only be one hole in the front drivers side floor you can see it in the photos, of the 4+ items I didnt see much rust except surface if it hadnt sat outside for the last 2 years it would have been better but hey who cares it was free!
A few eye goodies say a peep mirror white blinkers and some slot mags or chrome smoothies and I am happy I also found solid state conversion kits for the distributor for cheap too from UK.
Now is to get say a filter mounting kit for the carb so I can use a beehive on it but that can come later first repair rust damage and Spackle Spackle Spackle!
I am going to drop the suspension and perhaps put a better any sway kit on it, I have located gas adjustable shocks from home for cheap 100 bux for all 4! Dropped springs here for 1600 SEK unless someone here has some for me!?!?! other than tons of spackel to straighten out the wrinkles in the body from its usage before me n it should look sweet with a flat gray rat rod paint job that is until I can do a 2 tone metal flake jobb on it and make an custom interior!
Me also thinks with the price of gas being outlandish I am going to run it on E85 a bigger main jet and silicone fuel lines and she should be good to go.
