Bought a new 4x2m rug from a local rug shop.
Took me half a day to create a paper template and then cut out the rug. After the rug was cut out I sent it to a seamstress to finish the edges of the rug. I was really happy with the result.

Interior and chairs
I had to search and search for quite a while before I found suitable chairs that I wanted in the car. I got hold of 2 rear seats 3 + 3 and also 2 front seats from the same car. I was really happy with the result. Now there is room for both family and friends. I had to rebuild the front seats a lot to make them fit. For the rear seats I had to build new frames between the seats and the floor. The seats come from an electric SUV called the Hongqi E-HS9, model year 2023.
Window
Made paper templates for all the window panes. Got a local window manufacturer to make new windows for the entire car. I have tinted all the rear and side windows. Was really happy with the result in the end. Was a real punishment to install the tint and the windows on the car.
A few pictures of what the car looked like when I got it home.
Latest additions to the family. Dodge A100 1965
It’s been a while since I’ve done any projects.
I thought this time it might be fun that the whole family could benefit from it 🙂
After a lot of searching for what it would be, I fell head over heels for this beauty.
Dodge A100 from 1965.
The car has had a couple of different owners over the years, one owner did all the rust repair. The next owner did the paint job, with the 3rd owner it mostly sat still and now it sits at home in our garage.
When I got the car home there was no interior, no windows, no working electrical system.
No radiator. So the struggle lately has been to find and acquire different parts that are
needed to complete this beauty.
I’ll try to update the posts with different things that have been done as time goes on, so you can see the progress as you get a few steps forward.
The goal is to have it inspected and as close to completion as possible by the summer of 2026. But those of you who know me know how I am. Everything I do always goes off track, so we’ll see if the timeline holds.
