Yea I know, it has taken "a bit" longer then expected...But now it's done, and it moves like hell...And this is with the small SC wheel with 0,94 bar...I can just imagine when we put on the big one and have 1,5 bar...hehehehe

Thank you!! This has been a long and sometimes very hard road, that I sometimes did not know if I would see the end of. But now when I have the car back, I'm just so happy!

Thank you!!

16:20 today the car stopped in the middle of the rush hour traffic in the middle of Stockholm centre. And I could not move!!! The time is now 21:45, and I just got home after having to wait for the towing truck and transport it away.
So again there are bad news....

I'm sorry guys, but I have no good news, no photos, no videos....I'm just so tired of this whole saga!

I have seen a lot of ambitious projects started on MBWORLD, but yours is one of the only ones that has even close to being done. Don't be discouraged, we're all behind you and hoping to see your car 100%. Once it's all done, there won't be another car like it.

Did you notice any thing when the car shut down? Any strange noises or did it just shut down?

That's a bummer . I'm guessing it's an electrical gremlin since there was so much change that occurred on your build. If all of the cars' normal functions are okay, engine cranks, lights work etc, I'd start looking for melted wires and scanning the ECU.

Yep, your spot on! It’s electrical! And your also correct in that there have been quiet a bit of change on the car..Hehe
The car was like a rocket up to the failure! I’m just sorry that I did not get a chance to take photos and videos for you guys!
But it will come guys; we just need to get the car up and running again!

So I hope that you all can hold on until then!?

And thank you to everybody for all the positive words!

I’m now back to Somalia, so for the next 7 weeks I’ll be busy with EOD and IED’s. I’m hoping that the problem will be solved until when I get home on 5th of August.

Thank you very much! I helps to know that there still is an interest for you guys here on the forum!

And I think you are totally right, when I’m done there will not be a station wagon anywhere like this one! ☺

After the stop, I could start the car but as soon as I put it in gear, it died. And it sounded and felt like it was not running on all cylinders!

Now the car is at the paintshop and getting a new paint, and then SCRAM will pick it up and hopefully have it done before I get home on my leave 5’th to 22’nd of August. But I’m doubtful!

Hi guys!
Been quiet for a long time, and I'm sorry for that. Updates will follow....I can tell you that the car have been totally repainted in a new color, and it looks super hot in this color...The color is a Ferrari color...Not saying witch one...

Hope to have real updates in a not to long future...
