H锟斤拷an Journeyman Posts: 12 From: Rimbo, Sweden Registered: Jul 2002	posted 10-07-2002 05:41 PM Hi everyone, Been lurking on and off here at Mustangsand more for a while and as I saw that my website was mentioned in a post I might as well join in. My name is H锟斤拷an 锟斤拷tlund and I live in place called Rimbo ~30 miles northeast of Stockholm, Sweden and that锟斤拷 in northern Europe. I have a 锟斤拷7 Mustang coupe undergoing restomodding, I owned it for two years, previous owners converted it from sixcylinder to 289, C4 and a N-case nineinch. I have fixed a lot of rust, rebuilt the engine and converted it to EFI and I have a lot of future plans for it. ------------------ H锟斤拷an Rimbo, Sweden 锟斤拷7 coupe 289 EFI IP: Logged

I will have to look on one of his cards for his last name. Can't spell it or say it! he works for a company called Wartsilla they make large compressors for the company I work for. Any way he has a cool 67. Says he goes to allot of your Rallys? whatever that is.

H锟斤拷an Journeyman Posts: 12 From: Rimbo, Sweden Registered: Jul 2002	posted 10-08-2002 06:06 AM Thanks all! Yes, the letter 锟斤拷in my first name is a letter in the Swedish alphabeth together with 锟斤拷and 锟斤拷and the ralated keys can be found on Swedish and Finnish keyboards. To write 锟斤拷you can write "alt+0229" using the numeric part of the keyboard, you can also use "Charmap" if you锟斤拷e using Windows. My name is pronounced "Hawk-an". jsracingbbf: Yes, I know a lot of other Swedish Classic Mustangers, I锟斤拷e been in the car hobby for 25 years but the 锟斤拷7 is my first Mustang. I think your Swedish friends name is Tore, I锟斤拷 not sure what he means with rallys. There is a motorsport called rally that is big over here in Europe and in some other places, but I锟斤拷 of course not sure if that is what he means. The American branch of the Swedish car hobby is big, we have cruisings, drag racing and a lot of big meets organized by the Swedish Hot Rod magazines and different clubs. The Classic Mustang Club of Sweden has around 1300 members, the club is open for Mustangs from all years but the Mustang haven锟斤拷 been imported by Swedish Ford dealers since the seventies :-( and there锟斤拷 mostly Classic Mustangs in the club. Moneymaker: I锟斤拷 sorry, I have no such pictures but I got a blond wife and daughter, but they have their clothes on as it锟斤拷 getting cold up here in northern Europe at this time of the year. -------------------------- H锟斤拷an Rimbo, Sweden 锟斤拷7 coupe 289 EFI This is a test to see if this image comes up: http://www.ultrastang.com/Images/Hocke/Thumbs-up.jpg IP: Logged

Makes me feel real good to have a welcome like this! _____________________________________________ rockafellz: The Swedish club got a website but everything there is obviously in Swedish, the url is: http://www.mustangclub.com you can at least go there and check out some of the pictures. Unfortunately the design quality of that website ain锟斤拷 the highest but that锟斤拷 another story. There锟斤拷 a Swedish Shelby registry @ http://shelby.nu/ and if you check it out you will find that the Swedish King has two Shelbys! I锟斤拷e seen them both in His Majestys own garage (believe it or not) when I was in charge of the guard force at the Royal Castle. I锟斤拷 a retired Swedish Army Captain, working with IT today. Swedish Drag Racing goes back to 1968 when the first official drag race was held. I锟斤拷 actually a Swedish Drag Racing Champion myself as a Crew Chief/Mechanic in 1992 when we won the Top Fuel Dragbike series. Have a lot of friends that is or has been active drag racers. It锟斤拷 pretty much over here like as I understand how the sport works in the US with the exception of some really special vehicles like the "Carbon Fibre Hunchback Racing Volvo" and some others. Here锟斤拷 a page with a lot of links to European drag racing pages: http://www.cascadeurs-stunts.com/fr/extrem-drag.htm "Suede" is the Swedish (and largest) section. _____________________________________________ bibbs68: Thanks! Yes, that was me that dropped a note about the resin 1/24 scale 锟斤拷7 coupe I found. _____________________________________________ Moneymaker: I锟斤拷l se what can be arranged, ha ha.

I bought Weld Wheels Draglites for my 锟斤拷7 last weekend, kind of a rescue mission since they were used on a 锟斤拷8 Chevelle. ____________________________________________ kcode: 1/8 mile racing is also very common over here, but all the major events is over the 1/4 mile. Time is of course maesured the same way here as in the rest of the world but speed is measured in kilometers per hour. One Kilometer is 0.621371 Mile. A great place to convert measures of different kinds is this: http://www.onlineconversion.com A couple of days ago I measured the nine-inch rearend on my Mustang together with my 8-year old son and I tried to explain how to measure using inches and fractions of inches and there you can talk about creating confusion, ha ha! ------------------ --------------------- H锟斤拷an Rimbo, Sweden 锟斤拷7 coupe 289 EFI IP: Logged
