    This is from when we saw the car for the first time. The car was imported from Chile to Sweden a lots of years ago.

    The first thing we did was remove the body from the chassis.

    Then the chassis got a renovation. 20181113_195214.jpg 20181216_111929.jpg

    The body was in bad shape, Simon had to fix a lot of rust and bad sheet metal.

    Finally all rust is gone. The body is painted under. And we could put them together again. The engine have also got a renovation.

    I am always amazed at how folks outside the US do this stuff. It's hard doing it right here where the cars were built originally. Tin hunting over seas must be a bear! Nice job!

    The Mercury looks great, but I'm more impressed with that INSANE collection of hammers hanging from the wall!
