Archeology: Concealed under the paint.
Archeology: Concealed under the paint.
Examining the body closely after blasting reviled a lot of interesting details, some from the Mr. Tore Gidlunds accident in 1958, reparations following that and the time with Mr Lindblom but also from manufacturing and even from before that...

On the left side of the torpedo wall we found a mysterious fade stamp which turned out being a sheet metal stamp from the raw material before manufacturing, guaranteeing “extra premium quality material”...

A mysterious number “35723” is stamped into the metal just under the right hand side windshield wiper.

Another mysterious stamp on both sides on top of the torpedo wall.

There are still some remaining modifications from the cars time as a prototype for self adjusting suspension with Mr Julius Lindblom. Here a couple of holes in the front structure, made for additional hydraulic lines... these holes will now be repaired.

Wooden inserts creates towing attachments on the front beams of the car.

The brutally repaired right sill... and some nice golden factory weldings on the front fender attachments.

Detail of the roughly repaired right sill, and yet another hole made for Mr. Lindbloms additional hydraulics.

Detail from the attachment of the boot lid lock; a little copper rivet acts as a water drain.
