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... :ar15::ar15:
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: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/72593-Project-Mini-H%E4gglund?p=1030373#post1030373

Wow:Wow1:Steinez, sorry to hear about your mechanical problems. I sure hope everything gets worked out. What are your parts availability in Germany for those Mitsibushi Delicious? I heard parts were incredibly expensive. Anyways, you know the old rule. THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!:Wow1: Hope all is well. Let everyone on the forum follow your progress.

Well there`s not much progress going on, just more braking parts. The newest thing is that the odometer stopped working...
But i had some free time at work, so i brought it in and changed all fluids and stuff. I also put in a new radiator...
And yes, parts are expensive as hell...

Well, i bought the propane kit a while ago, but didn't install it yet, because its just insane cold outside (-21C). Additional i just started the Hägglund project, so there's no time to work on the Ufo...

So i started with a rear swingout today:
There will be the hilift and a shovel mounted, and a mount for three cherry cans...
Then i`ll built a nice kitchen cabinet, skidplates for the engine and transfer case and a nice front bumper...:Wow1:
