Long since last update! I´ve been takig care of my family and working, mostly..

I´ve connected the heating and considered hooking up a oil pressure gauge but left in on the shelf for now.. Did install a working, 912 temp/tank gauge though.. Also painted my lwt seat brackets so they´re protected from corrosion..



Mirror switch time, Talbot Berlin goes on.





Also received an alloy rear panel which is part of a potential update kit I am considering..




Also, refurbished distributor and Solexes.

[Jesse]

Last night I got some time to test mount my pea shooter system, some slight clearance issues but I am considering modding the alloy panel for this system. Do you guy´s like the look? I am eager to hear it roar, might have time for a proper install this weekend..

Exhaust looks cool. I'd be interested to hear if you can see anything out of the talbot mirror - cos I can see bog all out of my replica durant

[Jesse]

Sladey, I test mounted the Talbot before paint and tried to simulate seating position, sitting on a stool, I had "ok" vision.. Not good but "ok", hence better than seeing nothing at all =)

I´ll get back to you with a review once it´s mounted!

[Jesse]

I´ve spent the weekend applying 3M sound deadening, also cut felt for the back seat. The car is ready for it´s carpet now it wont be arriving until may so I will throw in the seats and hopefully drive some before its time to glue carpet.




New licenseplate =)



Wipers back on the "correct" side for 65-67



We´ve had some beautiful spring weather here for the last week but this morning we had 2 inches of snow.... Yuck! Just need to wait until it´s dry for some spring road testing!

[Jesse]

Had a couple of fantastic days at Techno Classica. Hurried to the garage this morning to get some stuff of the "to do list".

Applied rocker deco scripts in matte white - Plannng on switching the Fuchs to steelies for a more raw look.



Once I was done with the scripts I took a 60 mile trip in the stunning spring weather we are experiencing in Stockholm.

[Jesse]

Bought and installed a pair of Parabolic velocity stacks.

Engine bay and the rest of the car is slowly progressing towards something that puts a smile on my face!

[Jesse]

I have been fortunate enough to be able to drive the twelve on dry roads a couple of times this winter, what a blast!

I have finally installed a more suitable passanger seat, got a pair of LWT brackets from Marek and fitted the seat last weekend. It is all coming along nicely.

Love the car, Jesse. Exhaust looks great, colour looks great, interior is looking great.

I had a stick-on plate like that on my old 911T. Was almost impossible to read, which was nice...
