Timpans garage: Some treats from the US arrives

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)

Some treats from the US arrives

I have bought a "1969" Dodge Charger from North Carolina and had it shipped to Sweden, finally the car arrives. (I need something to do in the future as well...)

The box on the trailer behind the Charger is a Factory Five "1965" Shelby Daytona Coupé that my frien Mats bought as well.

That´s gonna be a kickass ride. This is a link to his project page:

When i look closer at the Charger i realize that i have bought a car with a vinyl roof top, that sucks...

God knows what the fuck lurkes underneath that Vinyl, im suspecting Rust...

Oh well, thats all in the future.
