Woohoo!

The car is now approved for Norwegian registration :banana

It went through a "import-control" today, without any comments other than "nice car" and "the wheels are a bit wide" :cheers

No worries, U misunderstood me a little. Did the car have a respray? I just can't believe the original paint can be so shiny!

It is not resprayed. The pics do lie a little; there are indeed stone chips and other stuff... The first owner had the car for 23 years (1979 - 2002) but it was not used from 1984!!! In 2003 some one bought it and fixed all the stuff that gets ruined due to no use; hoses, brakelines, fueltank etc. The engine got a small overhaul (bearings and seals..).

In 2006 there was a new owner who fixed a lot of the "optics"; new lights, chrome details, suspension, wheels etc, which makes it look cas nice as it does :cheers
