Silverado restoration in Finland
Hello!
Here are a few pictures of our Chevrolet Silverado 6,2d fleetside long bed 1984. We (me and my brother) owned it about 13 years and last summer we started to restoration. Sorry about my bad english, but I hope that all understand what I mean. Last edited by MrFinland; 03-03-2017 at 05:03 PM. |

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Mr. Fin, thank you for sharing your project. Don't worry about your English, you are communicating well. You guys are doing some really nice and thorough work. It's cool to know of a truck being restored over there. I have been to Denmark Norway and Sweden and I'm surprised by the American vehicles. But I don't ever remember seeing a full-size pickup truck, so I think it's great.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
In today's job. Does not fit into any of these new parts. "Made in Taiwan" is almost made in Finland.

![]() Maybe you can write your posts in Finnish and then do a Google translation and copy it into English too. Then you can get your brother and other Finnish friends to join the Forum and read your updates. |

I'm really blessed because I have such a wonderful wife! You can be sure that I will try my best to take good care of my wife. I'm sorry you and your girlfriend because of the difference, but better luck in the future. Yes I am using google translator but I want to learn better English because I need English in my work in the future. My brother can be hard to get in here the forum but I'll tell greetings. I did not bother to tell my friends of these in my stories that they need not be ashamed of me so much. ![]()

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Nice metal work. I've got the same repairs to do on my box.
What's the story with the V70? |

What about my old 1999 V70? I drive this work and back home, does not really else. It is 2,5 tdi engine(a little bit tuned) and manual gearbox. Our daily driver is BMW E60 M-Sport.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
You guys are doing a good job on the rust repair. It looks like you have done it before. I am familiar with the BMW you mentioned but what does the Opel Corsa look like?

That Opel Corsa is builted from 2 cars, Opel Corsa 1.2S and Opel Kadett 1.8 GT. Body is Corsa and technique is a Opel Kadett 1.8 GT+Garrett turbo+intercooler. We builted it about 12 years ago. It is fun to drive. ![]() If I find some of the film where it accelerates 0-150 km / h, so I put it in here too.
