    That is not my family, we're a gang of friends who rent the garage together. I'll post some more pics of the other cars when they're all in.

    Update!

    I had a little setback the other day. Someone had done a fast job on the floor. Just some scews and some cold welds held the floorpans together, consiled under some black rubber matherial. Don't know what kind of injury have happend here, but it seem straigth on the underside. So I need to make a good weld on that. Hate to have extra work, becouse a previous owner didn't care or tried to save some pennys, instead of doing it right the first time!  >:(

    I will get this right. My cuda deserves it.  :)

    The dash is out. It's the original one and is cracked. I'll need a new one.

    Here is the current status, car is on jackstands, got the exhaust down, will start fixing the floor next. Can't wait to get it to the paintshop.

    Where some of my parts are!  8)

    My friend Jan Erik works at the bodyshop, he's gonna paint the Barracuda. He has a real beautiful 71 Datsun 240Z Fairlady. He's one of the guys I share the garage with.

    Here is another update.

    Here is one door, primed and ready, rust was a problem, had to cut out and weld in some parts.

    Here is my twinbrother, he's dealing with some surface rust.

    Colour! Nissan Apple Pearl green on my rear wallance. :)

    A mirror, painted today, 12 oct. I'm so happy and excited!

    The inside of the doors get a green overspray too.

    Today was an unusal warm day for beeing so late in norway. So the car was pulled out to get the enginecompartment steemwashed.

    The bodyshop will probably begin to weld the rust next week, so within a month. Both me and the bodyshop want to have the car out of their way before the winter comes in about a month. Then people will start crashing and the bodyshop will have their hands full. Found out yesterday that the front frame (enginecompartment) is bendt, so they have to fix that too.. seems like someone has jumped with the car or something. These old cars sure have had a rough life. Right federwall is higer than the left.

    Don't know what shade. Think there are 2 diffrent grades on that collour. It's Nissan Apple Pearl Green and was only delivered on the Nissan 350Z i was told. Saw a pic of a 350 when I decided that I wanted that collour. Never found a pic of a green 350 on the net dough...

    What ever the shade is I like it, very different and original. I doubt there'll be a 'Cuda like yours out there. :-)
