Project: 1968 Mercury Monterey

Project: 1968 Mercury Monterey
This is the story of the restoration of my 1968 Mercury monterey




I have used this car in the states for about six years, i have allso taken it on a roadtrip from Florida, up the east coast to Maine across the country to Seattle, down the west coast through California to Las Vegas, Colorado and back to Florida again. (35 states in 3 months)
After the roadtrip i moved back to Sweden, where i´m still living today. (i am Swedish / American)
About 3 years later i decided to bring the Mercury to Sweden as well to restore it.
I visit the US quite fequently sense half my family lives there.






Ps. tha dates are not right (it had to be this way in order for the newest event to end up last on the page)

The engine was put in place and the electical wiring was looked over.
The old 2 barrel Holly carberator was replaced with a 4 barrel Autolite carb.
I had some problems attaching the kickdown bar to the 4 barrel so i had to disassemble the 2 barrel carb and steal some parts from it to put on the Autolite.
(I have allso restored the heater box but i don´t have any pictures of that.)
