We’re moving on, a really good weekend in the ABM shop!

It was a good sunny warm weekend (inside) the ABM shop for me and Max! Not jealous at all on my Top Doorslammer buddy’s that went to the first race in Malmö this past weekend… 😉

Got the cylinders in the block cleaned up a bit, that’s the good part with custom parts you can have them just like you want them so I added a thousand to the new pistons from CP Carrillo so I will have new fresh cylinders again! 🙂

Beautiful parts!

Also checked the mains while having the block out from the car, pretty good deal to have your own engine overhauling shop, Birka Motorrenoveringar that I have access to 24/7! 😀

Cleaned up everything in the heat washer and got the short block assembled with a lot of new parts!

And after that finally back in the chassis again!

I also decided to do some changes to the converter, look forward to see what it does to the performace!

Now it’s time to get the upper part of the motor together again, we are going to be noisy on Saturday at The Parts Stop Sweden’s yearly Swap Meet! 🙂

We also got the truck and trailer back home to the Sjodin Motorsport / ABM Racing shop and that feels crazy good to have my “home” at the shop back again!

Restart on the trailer build, we are getting closer to get it painted!

Crazy productive last 5 days on the trailer!!! 🙂

Me and Max went up north on Wednesday to pick up the truck and trailer after 7 months in the winter storage.

Back home in Stockholm and ready to start work on it again!

Where we stopped the outside work on it last year…

It actually felt really good to bring it back home again now when I got some spirit back to work on it! But it went back to the normal “I hate it mode” after about 65 hours spent on it the last 5 days… 😀 😉 Haha…!

Well we got all the stainless trim mounted on the trailer and now it is all framed in with stainless material from our awesome parter Bengtssons Smide in Täby!

And it looks crazy good!!! 😀

A huge thanks to Max, Sofi and John for the help during the past 4-5 days it would never been possible to do it without you!

We also got it all sealed up everywhere and we are getting it closer and closer to make it possible to get it painted by our partner Kaross och Lackteknik in Jönköping! Hopefully we will get a lot of things made on it during this soft racing season so we will be back on track for a full series during season 2019 in the Top Doorslammer Series!

Taking the trailer and truck back home!

Yesterday was truckin time again! Time to bring the truck and trailer back home to Stockholm and continue the work on it! Right now I actually got some spirit and ideas about what to do with it! =D But I’m not worried, someone will mess something up and make me lose it again! 😉
