Mission 47
del 1
Does a tune up have to take three years of your life, ruin relationships and finish off with a paint job for 400$? These question led to Mission 47. The mission was to fix rust, lower the suspension in the front and back and also to paint it fresh, all in 47 hours. No professionals got to participate and the cost was not to exceed 1200$.
Friday night and the clock starts ticking. The deal is working around the clock until Sunday afternoon. In the previous issue of Worldkustom the mission was presented in detail as well as the five that was crazy enough to go through with it. Now they were gathered and standing ready. The team, where several of them hadn’t seen eachother before, had already hit their first crisis. They collectively meant that Krantz’ intellect was comparable with the dumbest fish in the sea.
Polite as they were this was never said out loud but that was definitely the underlying meaning in what they had expressed was not hard to miss
– Only and idiot thinks you can switch out spark boxes and fix the doors in this short period of time. It had been resolved previous to this mission and they have had right. The body shop had needed a week to fix it all. For example, the posts weren’t even welded to the floor.
The webcam was hanging from the roof, thousands of viewers had tuned in, the guys opened up their toolboxes, the port was rolled up and the Buick rolled in. It was 5:01PM Friday the 14th of March in 2008, the year of mercy.

Friday. 5:01 PM Per (right) does an Anja Pärson on the concrete floor and sets a high bar directly from the get go in the chase for seconds. Samuel immediately hits the rust.
Norrland and West coast working together. Bert-Ove and Dennis are the dynamic duo that earlier did some crazy stuff with Krantz. The only thing you have to do to get them to join new adventures is to pick up the phone.
Per has been under, then in the front, now in the back. Bert-Ove searches for problems to solve. – The list doesn’t seem to remove without taking off the side windows. Samuel is in weld-mode. Look at Rabbe’s soda cart! They brought their own favorite items.
