It was a nice day so I had to try if all of the cars at the yard start. Luckily they did.

Made a short history clip of my Caravan C Rekord. I noticed I have had this car as a project for 10 years and now it was a time to try remember all the modifications I have done to it. Unfortunately video is only in Finnish. And what comes into the 740LS video, I have not forgot it Hopefully I get it done some day and it will be in English.

Got the Kadett inspected. It became a lot more through overhaul than I had planed, but end result is gooooooooooood.
I am going to make few videos of this, but unfortunately they are going to be in finish.

Got few laps on the track for 740LS also for this summer. Despite few minor issues it was a great day with 14 roasted tires. Have to say that 400hp LS + GS6-37DZ + 4.1 rear diff is a great combination.

Choosing the engine and fitting it into Kadett. Maybe I´ll skip the following Kadett video because this is only in Finnish. Next Kadett story which I´ll post here is the bodywork. It doesn´t contain so much talking

Well, I had to do an episode of the inspected Kadett.

Had to make a full story of the Kadett bodywork. The change is very visible and at the end of the video there is a comparison to the beginning of the project and also to year 2007.

Took the Volvo to ice track. Too bad proper spike tires were now allowed, so I had to drive with normal studded tires. A lot of fun anyway!

Here is a bit of a sound check

Finally I get to work on my GMC Typhoon which I bought a while ago. The plan is to get it running properly and drive it to Gatebil this summer. Not sure yet if I go to Mantorp or Rudskogen, but either one is fine. Also, I try to do these Typhoon videos in english to Youtube.
