I hope I can use english and not offend anyone, but my norweigian is only at conversational level, 53 years old and can't teach an old dog new tricks.

My first sled I've owned is a 1976 long track Elan.
Did the hood, seat, windsheild, changed the piston and cylinder to a 1971 TnT 292 now it's 22 Hp, all bogies, bearings bogie supports, painted frame, changed bearings on the crank new crank case seals, now it runs beautiful, nice in the deap snow.











Use it for ice fishing so I put the box under the seat for my stuff.

If any one has a nice frame 1974 or newer, please let me know, my frame has many holes and repairs.

Now for my next restoration I got a 1967 Alpine "Bamse" all original, running.



Stripped it down to the frame, got a new seat made from a friend in the states, next week frame will be sand blasted and I will start to pressure test gas tank and doo some small welding repaires




Realloy love this hobby making old like new is very rewarding.

Nice machines you´ve got there.
And it´s OK to use English... there´s always someone here to translate if needed.
It will be interesting to follow yor work restoring the "Bamse"

[Swesled]

English will be fine, most of us will understand and if not we'll help each other with the translations

That's a great looking Elan you got! It looks like it's new!
It will be interesting to follow the restoration of the Alpine and I think I speak for us all when I say that we want pics of the restoration progress

Very nice Elan indeed!
What kind of track is that you're using?
And are those ski spreaders from dennis kirk? How are they doing their job? I've ordered a pair of those as well but haven't received them yet.

Did Ron/goose do the seat for the Alpine? It looks great And like the others said, make sure to post pictures of the Alpine restoration!

Hi Nico, don't know the type of track, spreaders came from Joe (TnT 75 )from old doo forum, Still got to be careful really tippy, even with the spreaders, but better then before, Yes Ron made the seat, I'm his first European Customer. Thanks everyone for the kind words.
