Swedish Ford F250 -72..

Postby amazonsport on Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:04 pm

Hey, I thought to start a thread about my truck here.
I bought the car in January -13 and have been looking up the stuff that needs fixing.

Image

The first thing to do was to repair the apron fender since a new one would cost me about 450 dollar including shipping to Sweden.

Image



So I found out that the last junkyard with old American cars here in southern Sweden still is open but will be closing soon. So I went there on a little chance to find the parts that fit.

Did I found something? Sure a rusty and a little crash damaged the inner fender that I had to pay $ 50 for. But I could fix the old one with this.

I have now started to cut out the rusty bits o weld there some pieces from the other fender.

More picture will come.. see you!

Welcome,

Never made it to Sweden but i did get up into Norway.  Dont worry about your English, i was born in the US, educated in the US, well traveled, and i still talk like a back woods hick and thus your English is probably better then mine.  :roll:

Good luck on your project.
