On my way back home I had a few stops to check out some cars from friends… the super nice spring weather gave me so cool pictures…

The next stop was at this old house from 1931, how cool starts this story? and more of it, what’s behind that house???

2018-07-01 15.43.59_resized

Well there was a garden shed, home-made as we all can tell…:)

2018-07-01 15.45.10_resized

In the garden shed was a Peek a boo hole…:)

2018-06-30 15.35.39_resized

I wrapped it up , but that didn’t work that well, although i must agree it looked cool!…:)

2018-06-30 16.10.45_resized

So I towed it home without wrap…:) This baby is for sale, it is cheap, especially for what it is, but this early (Dec 1959) You will not find many!! It needs all the welding and comes already with some new strong metal parts for the chassis!

2018-06-30 18.14.25_resized

Second, this is a good show, small and cozy, not worth driving 2000km, but since I had to be here, I’m happy I stopped by… so nice people and very cool cars… here’s my small report!

2018-06-30 11.29.38_resized

Setting was perfect on a campground who also hired “Stuga” (Cabins) and off course it was lake side, in north Sweden its hard to do something not at a lake side as there are lakes everywhere!
