I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

I am on vacation this week (until Friday) so I have a little time to spend with the car. I have been removing the inner linkage components of the doors the past few days. Disassembling everything. I have two driver's side (left) doors and one right so I've been trying to determine which left door will work best. They are both pretty good and each has pros and cons so I'll probably just give both to the bodywork folks to decide.

I also received word from Olof that he does not have the 6V fuel tank sender (pn 89244), two hand straps (pn 99390, black) or two sun visors with anchorage (pn 99388, pn 94413, black). So, I am on the hunt for these parts. If anyone has or knows someone who might have them, please let me know. I have also put out the request to Swedish Treasures, VLV World, Strictly Swedish, Scandcar, VP Autoparts and a few others. Hopefully I'll be able to find these parts.

I've also been cleaning up the front steering rods and they are really coming along nicely. I've been using the wire wheel brush and once cleaned, they look like stainless steel. It's really amazing the quality of the steel on these cars. Check out the latest pictures to see the contrast between the old and newly-cleaned steering rod parts. There is also a shot of the hand-cleaned master brake cylinder, however, I might have to touch that up with the wire wheel brush before painting. (I cleaned that by hand before I purchased the wire wheel brush for the bench grinder.)

One last thing… Can anyone identify these parts? They were in the parts box which came with the car. I have a feeling what some are for but not 100% certain. Thanks.
