Yesterday was the day! Left home at 06:00 and headed for Gothenburg. Stopped for breakfast and fuel when we got to Sweden (its cheaper than in Norway). We arrived at the terminal around 9.30.
Have to say i was
very excited and wanted to have a look at the car right away, but first they had to do some minor paperwork. Very nice people in the office and no surprises.
Paperwork done, and we walked downstairs and into the storage, and there it was
Parked in a corner and looking very good! Only covered by a small layer of dust.
We spent a few minutes going over it, unbolted the wheeliebars and loaded it on my open trailer - wich by the way is a bit shorter than the car. Loaded it with the rear first and supported the frame in several places with woodblocks and some pillows i borrowed from our livingroom (dont tell my wife) to avoid damage to the paint. Worked very well!
Then heading back to Norway. Customs was a pain... so many trucks from eastern europe passing the border, and from what i could here in the customs office, 50 % of them was missing documents, passports, didnt speak english etc etc... i was expecting to stay there for the rest of the day waiting for my turn.
Took me 1.5 hour though, not THAT bad... and the customs guy was very helpfull, and he found it very interesting that i had a dragster with me. A couple of them was "inspecting" it just for fun, and thought it was badass. Even a few Swedish truckers came by and said it was a cool ride.
Several cars drove up on our side and give us the thumbs up as we were heading home
It was a very good feeling to unload it back home and roll it into a warm garage. Needless to say, but i spent the rest of my day in the garage. Tight fit in there, but it feels very good.
I noticed there was a little "thingy" on the PG trans with two white wires on it that was disconnected, not sure what thats for, anyone knows? I can take a pic if thats needed.
