The Coffee Glider Status update

· Leave a comment ·

Well the progress has been slow but I’m slowly getting there.

When i bought it, i didn’t have any plans to get it done this year. But then i tought maybe i can throw it
together and drive, but why? It´s more fun to do the things i wanna do to it and THEN take it out.

It’s now September and in a month or 2 it’s gonna be snow outside. So this little project is now gonna be
my little winter project.

But i had the car in my buddy Jesper’s garage and i thought he would like it back 🙂 (thanks for the hospitality Jesper). but it was a 20minute drive there
every time i wanted to do something do the car, and as the unemployed sucker that i am, money is thight.
SO! i have a pretty big cage in a big ass underground garage where i live, but i had a friend’s car there and hadn’t clean that place in 5 years or more.
So this is where i’m at right now, 2 weekends of cleaning and stuff.

Project Coffee Glider Part 2

Well this weekend has been productive, on Saturday we pulled the body of the pan and start fixing all the fucked up welding job somebody has done before. We could rip it of with our hands, thats how bad the welding was. My friend Niklas is better then me with the welder so he is my personal welder for this little project 🙂 Me and my buddy Jesper that i’m borrowing the garage from started scrapeing the pan from crap and stuf. The pan is realy solid for not being on the road for 20 years. the last passed car safety inspection is 1989.

Well some pictures from the wekeend.

Body of, and a nice hight for working.

I did have some thoughts how i should do with the messed up dashboard, somebody had put an oldstyle rev limiter under the dash, but cut a big ass nasty hole for a oilpresure gauge above the stereo, instead of finding another dash to cut a peace from we came up with this, it’s an old stereo that i had and it should work and we put the rev limiter above there stereo in the hole, doesn’t look sooooo bad i think

need a little more job but you get the idea.
