New moparfreak from Sweden:)

[SwedenMopar]

Hey guys! Ill start with introducing myself a little. My name is Sebastian, im a 20 yo guy from a little town called Pitea, Sweden. Since about 8 years back or so, i have always dreamed of having my own musclecar.
Now after a long wait, i finally bought a 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger about a month ago! It came with a 318 v8 and 904 transmission, but my plan is to put in a 340/360 in it next winter, along with a 727 transmission.
It has some rust on the body which im working at now, and a black vinylroof in a crappy condition.
So before the driving season starts (around may here) im going to fix all the rust, tear of the vinylroof and get a new paintjob.

Im gonna try and post some pictures of the car soon, and sorry for my bad english:-D!

Welcome to FABO, Sebastian, from a SoCal member. You're going to have fun here! Great people and the best Mopar techs anywhere.
Don't worry about your English - it's just fine. The big problem would be if you expected many of us to reply to you in Swedish!

Wow nice to see so many responds! Was so hard to find an active swedish mopar website, so when i found this website about 2 weeks ago i thought i'd gone to heaven:-D Well anyways im updating with some pictures now! I have already started to tear down the fenders, bumpers and much more, but i found these pictures from the owner before!

Well here goes!

The inside:



The inside is in pretty good condition, except for the rip in the passenger seat. Original black bucket seat interior with console!



Here's the engine room, looks kind of shitty but the engine and tranny actually runs great!



The vinyl top in less good condition and some rust stains on the body



Right side, need to fix the rust on the passenger door.



And last some pics from under the car! Sort of rust free under, so atleast thats relaxing!






It has some fixing before the summer, but im gonna get it in better condition before that! That's for sure!

Well the body and chassies parts that's unique for the car is very hard to get here in sweden, so you most often have to order those from America.
Oh yeah? Is your 360 original? Hmm maybe ill keep the 904 then ;) just fresh it up a little! Im gonna do some more research about that!
