Today`s job.

My daily driver in the winter,,,,2019 Octavia 1,0 TSI ........consumes 0,56L/10km! My daily driver in the summer ,,,,,,2007 Chrysler 300 5,7 L V8 consumes 1,4L/10km. My" hobby"car,,,,,, 1948 Dodge 4 L straight 6 consumes 1,8L/10km. Remember ...it is worth it!

Trying to rig the rockers.....not quite easy.

Valve+spring assembly finished.

Dammit, the pics did not get i right order.

This is my first day as a pensioner,and it is winter. I must have something to do,got a Jeep engine. This is going to be an art installation,,,,,in my kitchen. Stay tuned.........

@makemywish There are some out there

@makemywish Not my car in the pic,I am going to wait fore the summer to do the job. I have not decided what make I am going to use yet,there is a lot of them.

@makemywish Good job! I have been deadening my last 3 cars with the same material. But with my new Octavia I thought of using some spray on deadener first,let it dry then apply the "normal"deadener. Not my car in the pic!

@B284 Hello neighbour. I have lived in Skåne for 10 years(Dalby) so I know what a wet winter roads you have. I live in the more hilly parts of Dalsland,so for me studded tires are a must. And yes Michelin X-Ice North 4 is my choise. Your rims look very good.

@Doctor_Strange Thats the way i like my snow,,,,,,,,melted!

@Doctor_Strange Funny,,you have more snow than me right now.

brettikivi SYKES?

Good studded winter tires are more important than 4WD

fr1nklyn Back in the day i could buy 155/70/15 snowtires, they worked really fine.

rum4mo, funny that you thought of the bolt covers,noted for one hour ago that I have lost one of them! I will definitely buy some black ones. I measured the paint thickness on the rims then I bought them,only 35-50 thousands of millimeters. In my world that is a joke (I am a powder painter) So I applied a thick coat of glossy black+clear coat,now the paint thickness is between 175-250 thousands of millimeter.

Hey fr1nklyn. I liked the old style the steel rims have.And like you I moved from factory 205/55/16 to 195/65/15. Never had any problem with 2WD,,,,,,yet!

I wish for mild winters,,,,,,this is from the back of my house in 2009!

My cars in "the rear"

Hi guys. Greetings from Sweden. I do not know if you use winter tires? But here it is a must,I bought ordinary steel rims (wheels) powder coated them and made some hubcaps. Put on the best studded tires,,,,,,,now I am waiting for the snow
