A Swedish total restoration project of a Columbia Six from 1923
There has been a while since updating the Columbia6-site.The most of the time waiting for registration plates and insurence.I have driven the car about 100 km total and the engine has been running some more hours.I have mounted the restored choke button.I have bought step plates to mount later.Some problems with the third gear but I am working on that.Next work is to adjust the tappet clearance.
I have some pictures showing the car as it just now.Two toolboxes has also been made.
Now has the parts been mounted that shows the car is nearly to be completed.
The levers in the steering wheel has been attached and also the linkage for that but it has much work left there for a smooth working.
The sending unit for the fuel in the rear is also in place.
The rear lamps has got there holes and is now mounted but not yet installed electrical.
The vacuum tank,ignition,fuse holder and the aluminum plates in the floor boards are also fitted.The floor in the front is in place with switch and starter.
Even if the summer has been very warm I had done some major jobs.The fenders and the splash apron are now in place.The fuel sender,radiator,steering wheel,hood, and the holders for the hood with plates.The instruments with the restored amp and oil are there also.The speedometer are there also but not functioning. I must solve the problem with the mounting on the front wheel first.
The work the last weeks has been mounting the new tires to the new felloes.The handles are also mounted in place.The front window has glass been mounted and the rubber in the middle.The mounting of the steering wheel column has started with the bracket on the instrument panel.The rods for the ignition and gas is not yet ready.
Now has i started with mounting the mahogany mouldings it is only some layers of varnish left.The radiator and the shell is now mounted and in place with the emblem.
The radiator is now repaired .The mouldings is now the next step to work with they are made in mahogany.
I have made a new wood frame for the rear window.The upholstery is done and all the panels are ready.The next step for the top are the glass for the rear window.
The work has advanced with the interior and the top assembly is now mounted so the top can be mounted.The rear wood window has been delayed so the rest of the top is waiting.The speedometer has been cleaned and painted new glass is needed.The fuel tank has new measuring plate being made.In the radiator shell has the front curtain been mounted.
The work continues in the shop with cushions and sides.The things needed for the top and the front metal pieces for the curtain in the radiator shell are in the paintshop.The work with some instruments on the dashboard has also started.
