Engine mounting brackets were missing. I found Driverside new and made pass.side. Need to remember that in 80´s it was not so easy to get new stuff here in middle of nowhere.

Mopar 8 3/4 -489 case. I welded extra steel rear side of tubes. Axles were cut and made new splines in Oulu city.

Rear inner fenders welded and rear frame turned little in. Originally car was 4d model like all STW novas. This car were start to change for 2d.

I made it ready.

ProForm - Mats Andebrand fiberglass parts. Front fenders 2kg each. Doors 4kg each... He was made very good quality and light weight stuff.

Alum. interior, very simple. I were welded front and rear frames together. You can see that 2" x 3" steel going thru floor from front to rear.
