Yes, i was thinking something like this too, but i first have to ask the TÜV (safety inspection) guy. If i get his ok, i can start bending up some tube...

 

So we have been at austria for our new years trip. The car was parked on the highest point we could get because of the snow. Then they said there would be a snowstorm coming up and we decided to get the car down. But for whatever reason it decided not to start again. So i cleaned the spark plugs and some stuff, but it still didn`t fire up. I then called the road service, but they said they didn`t have time.
So we had to wait until the other day and the car was snowed in, in about 3 feet of fresh snow. I got some new spark plugs from the road service, but it still didn`t fire up. So we had to get a big tractor with chains to get the car down. The n we pulled it with the tractor and after a while it fired up. I don`t have to say that i was pissed off...
After that i put in a new distributor cap and rotor, ignition leads and some new gaskets, hoping it was just some moisture that got into the distributor...

Yesterday i noticed that the heater wasn`t working, and then the temp gauge started raising. I got out of the car and noticed water pouring on the ground. I grabbed some water and poured it in the radiator, but it poured right out on the ground. So i had to get towed home again. I ordered a new radiator and will install it tomorrow...

Well, looks that i don`t have any luck with this damn car. But the good thing is, that there`s almost no old parts anymore, so it should become more reliable with every part that breaks (and get`s fixed)...

Well, in the maintime i started a new project: Project Mini Hägglund

 

Had some free time at work, so i brought it in and changed all fluids and stuff. I also put in a new radiator...
