Sølvpilen aka Silver Arrow

This build startet one year ago (2015) when Even Sjølie bought a 2004 td5 from the southern parts of Norway. The car had been used mainly on a farm. It didn't look the part. But mecanically it was sound having covered only 100000km (60000 miles).

Haha! Thanks! 😊👍 well, it looked a bit rough. But progress was soon on the way. Starting from the inside. All of the interior was stripped down. Then noisekiller was applied.

Then miracle hits! Even got hold of front and back seats from a crashed Range Rover Evoque. Would they fit?

It might not look it. But its the same black carpenting on the back of the seats. Exmoor trim. On the right side room was made to fit skies. 😊👍

Soundproofing was done to the bulkhead and floor section together with a moulded matting system in the front. Then new soundsystem, momo steering wheel, new alu gear knobs.

Under The back seats a isotherm heater was installed. The heat is spread out in four ways. Two in the centre and on both sides to prevent fog on the back windows.(Sorry if my english is a little rusty, havent lived there for 10 years) This is a highly recommended upgrade. Together with a webasto heater it's now a thrill to drive in the winter up here in Oslo!

Then it was time to something with the handling. As this part had suffered whilst the interior was done. Bilstein b6 springs and dampers and new calippers, discs and pads where fitted.
