Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

Status right now with 7 days to go until we need to leave the shop and start heading against England and Santa Pod Raceway!…

The car is in a million pieces and everything feels a little bit up side down right now… But there is no problem, i hope… It’s just a lot of hard work left and we will soon be ready to race! 🙂 Time to repair some stuff on the chassis and then start to put the Chevelle together so we will have a race car!

The best person on the planet and also my best friend, she is always here for me to help me out! =D

The bottom floor is pretty much cleaned out, or it is for now at least!…

Sofi and I have made some huge progress in the trailer, now it starts to feels really good, we finally got a home (or box to live in) 😉

Couch and TV installed in the trailer, it really starts to feel like a home and I’m more than happy about it!! =D

A lot of beds on the walls! 🙂 And we are still able to load 2 cars easily in the trailer just by moving the couch a little bit! Just like I want to have it, simple and a big open room in the whole upper floor!

And then easy to put down the beds and make them ready for the team, interested friends, family, partners / sponsors that might want to hang out with us during a race weekend so they don’t need to find a place outside the track to stay when they come and watch us race!

Now it’s time to clean out some on the bottom floor and then maybe start to work on the race car!?!…

Or at least done so we can go to England and Santa Pod Raceway in about 8 days from today and have a decent place to live at during the time we are there!…

Cleaned out!

But now everything is here instead! 😉

We have finally got the lighting mounted in the roof on the upper floor also! 🙂

We got some more small stuff to do on the upper floor and then it’s time to start clean up the mess on the bottom floor…. Again! And then maybe if we have time for it works some with stuff that we would like to have ready on the bottom floor before England, time will tell if we succeed!…

The upper floor starts to look like a place where you want to be when we are out on the race tracks! 🙂

The beds are finally assembled and mounted on the walls on the upper floor! =D

Sofi and mr poop are doing their thing preparing the wall for the future bathroom!

The upper floor starts to look really good now!

Sofi made herself some new clothes trying to protect herself when working with some glass fiber insulation! 😉

Feels crazy good to finally be able to prepare all the beds and final mount them on the walls. Doesn’t it look crazy good!??! For me and Sofi it at least felt awesome after 4 whole days inside the trailer with the warm sunny weather outside… 🙂

I did also mount the tail light chrome rings, feels strange to say it’s almost all done here in the rear (at least)

John the Snake went by to fix some more of the bad paint work that we waited for all winter to mess up this season….

Loooooking goooood!!!

And this was how I wanted it on the sides, but…

An awesome work by our new partner Svenska Clearwrap and the crew at the company Micke, Victor and André made the impossible possible!! =D I’m for the first time more than satisfied after letting a company do some kind of work on my trailer! 🙂 And this with a really short notice because of people delaying and sabotage my plans… Then I also found out that the most companies that works with wrap are real talkers and bull€£=%* And they are lazy and on top of that crazy expensive!… 🙁 But not these guys at Svenska Clearwrap, these guys are the best! under a really tight schedule, huge requirements from my side because my plan was to have an all white trailer and not have anything at on the side of it but that got destroyed totally by the companies that made the body work on the trailer… So we needed something to hide all the shitty work… André got the instructions from me “I don’t want anything at all so please surprise me…” 😉 And he did, thanks a lot again for an awesome work guys, look forward to continue with the rest of our ideas together!

Stay tuned for more trailer progress!

When we finally got the trailer back home to the shop in the beginning of April I was able to start organize and see what we possibly could find time for to get ready before it is time to go to England…

So around the end of the second week in April we finally got an idea and also some material to start up the trailer madness again, pretty much exactly 4 weeks before we need to hit the road and go to Santa Pod in England for our first outing..

Me and Max got the lighting on the bottom floor mounted, FINALLY!!! The led panels have been laying around in the trailer for a couple of years now…

The upper floor, finally it’s time to do something here now!… That’s the only part of the trailer that we haven’t touched since I bought it and I gave got big plans for it way to long now…

Sofi and John got some carpet mounted on the walls and what a crazy big difference that made, it pretty much directly went from the inside of a white box to a home. 🙂

After that it was time to start prepare the beds for the upper floor and make everything ready to get mounted on the walls!

But before mounting the beds on the walls, they finished the front wall on the upper floor that will be the wall to the future bathroom! Exited to see how long that will take to get ready!… 😉
