Yep, very good! I have driven over 1000 miles now and I am very happy with it. I have my bolt in roll cage thanks to Luke, this winter I will be doing a "major service" to the car including LSD install and (hopefully) an engine rebuild with T5 head & etc.... Next season I hope to do a few hill climbs with the car, in addition to my "normal use" The car broke 275,000 miles this weekend.

Those look like the "Diamond Crystal" units that are all over Ebay.

They are 26.00 a pair and come with the bulbs?

For comparison, the Hella H4 units that are about 55.00 each plus about 8-10 per bulb. The harness to use the higher wattage bulbs is about 150.00

Not from Ebay

The Hella units look nicer, may upgrade in the future. These are better than the stock sealed beams, but not ideal.

"auto pal" stuff sells a fair to good copys of a lot of hella products. Generally, almost as good for about 1/2 the price. I kind of like the hella stuff though, especially their sealed beam conversions with H4 bulbs. They just look a lot nicer then the auto pal stuff in my opinion.

Looks like a 1967 or earlier ? Is it 2 -stroke or V-4 ? I started on a 67 2 -stroke wagon last winter and have it running and just spent $$ on re doing the front seats. If you are short on information on these cars , I can probably help out.

Oh no, 3 cyl 2 stroke, with T5 and a single V6 DI cassette seemed to be all the rage in Sweden.

The car is a 66 2 stroke last registered in 1990 I last drove it in the early 80's. The car is very complete and there is a pretty large cache of spares. I also got the spare motor trans with 40K out of the spring house.

Luke,
That is my parents house we picked the car up from. If your parents lived there long enough they would remember about 6 of them in the drive way at one time and during another era 7 large Cadillacs. The Bounder is going as well.

Got it in the garage yesterday after getting all 4 brake drums to break loose. Current plan is a frame up. Going to strip it down, build a rotisserie in the garage and do the rust repair, then put it back together, might take a while.
