I first saw this link at Supraforums, and this is seriously one of the crazier things I've seen. These Swedes are nuts. Great editing, entertaining to watch even though you're looking at one of the rustiest piles ever. They basically rebuilt every bit of metal in the frame. It all started 5 years ago, and to this day it still isn't finished.

Watch Mul@ hugo01.wmv first to see the state that the car was in when he first got it :eek: Right click each link, save as. All files = 1.37GB

:eek: at the first video.

The amount of fibreglass they pull off that floor!!!

Don't think I've got time to look at the rest but it's going to be a lot of work to put that back straight :eek:
 
Skimming through the videos a bit, but seriously impressive work. Guy's got a decent sense of humor too.
 
awesome vids, very interesting, thanks for that :cool:

i could do with some of those tools! makes some aspects of the repair look so much less hassle :(
 
These vids are ace, how much time and effort has he put into this project. It looked like a mint car when he first bought it... but jeez!

I can't believe he's gonna put a Skyline engine in that tiny Datsun!!! Very cool watching them rebuild that RB26.

Imagine that first day he finishes off the entire thing, gets in it, takes it out for a spin... and writes it off... or it gets nicked!

The 240z are gorgeous, can't believe they made these in 1970's.
