Owner has nothing else than ex finnish military vehicles. If I had to guess it is a GAZ. Don't know if finnish military ever had ARO but Uaz, gaz and Kraz they had plenty.

Don't know. Some russian thing.

Wrap up on season 2026. In the spring when I got it from winter storage I ran in some problems. First batteries was dead. So bought new ugly ones. I tried to start it with a jumper and fried the voltage regulator for radio. So radio is dead. Then the new fuel control relay I swapped last...

The stopping cable is not an option for me. But that was a good write up. I will come back to that if it starts acting up in the future. I will open one edic motor up in the future and clean it.

It seems to work now. Found this. In comments the solution was ground points. Cleaned them and no help. But I forgot the one from battery to fender. After cleaning that the test drive was success.

I will have to try to understand that diagram and do some research. And maybe find a HJ diagram if it differs from BJ. The oil pressure switch will ground when no pressure. So wire disconnected it does not get ground so it will run. I disconnected it while on test drive and drove home with the...

I have a HJ60. It has been acting up lately. When driving you can hear a relay click from passenger footwell. After that a small stuttering on engine. I assumed it is fuel control relay. I opened it up. It was quite rusty inside. I cleaned it as good as I could. Went for a test drive. It worked...

Thank you for the compliments. It is a Mustang and it is a 1966. I made a scale model for my father-in-law when he turned 50 of that Mustang. Then then I did research about the car and Mustangs in general to get all the details right. With vin search it said it would have been a inline 6 from...

Then to the last gathering of the Vaasa car club. It was a tour in Vaasa car museum. Very nice and interesting place with lots of history of engine building in Vaasa. In the history Vaasa was known for Olympia boat motors. Later by Wärtsilä ship engines etc. If you rad this and somehow sometime...

Then I enjoyed the summer and lack of AC. Stuttering also continued now and then. At the end of July it was time for the local car show again. Stuttering continued. I started thinking if it gets air when the tank is near empty. But it was not the case. Then came autumn. Had to take some...

Wrap up of the season 2025. At the beginning of June I was thinking if I should sell the car. I had no interest in it and it did not bother me that the car was still in the winter storage. I said this out loud to my wife and after half an hour I went and get the car home. Did not wash the car...

Won a trophy in a car show.

Teillä on siellä hyvä keli. Täällä on kauhea lumimyrsky. Minun pitäisi lähteä kohta asiakkaan luo 108km päähän. Wish me luck. Onnittelut kaluston kuntoon saannista ja hyvää leiriä!

Season ended 1,5 months ago and the car is in the winter storage. End of the summer was just driving. Did not reel on the winch cable or changed front door seals. Car got 1655km so not much. I did just some daily driving and that one longer trip that I documented earlier. So for next summer...

Low spec ones that were common here are painted. I have the code for the paint. I will pm you it along with some info on winches.
