Hey there and moi,

I wrote Osku already in the german https://www.bulliforum.com/ to lead me to this forum. Hell, it wasnt easy to get locked on as a german speaker.

I am a big finland fan and compassionate driver of a t3 Syncro from Finland. The car though leads to many questions. Whats wrong with the transmission, how old are the brakes, did he make any changes that we dont know about,...?
To be sure not to damage anything during our restoration we would like to get in touch with the previous owner. The car was previously sold to HIGH COAST CLASSIC CARS in Nordingrå Sweden.
The previous owners name is on the finisch papers but i dont want to make it public. He lives in Tornio Finland and his car is a bit modified. The wheel arches are enlarged and from another car. The car is originally grey blue metallic (taubengrau metallic) but was painted black with red sparkles (which look like blood) on top, the back seats were removed, the engine was swapped for a AAZ 1.9 TD, the wheels were changed for 15" Mercedes C-Class steel rims with 215/80/15 tyres and there is a lot of dry mud under the car.
There had been an enourmous impact on the left rear bumper because we had to fix that aswell, since the frame was damaged and grinding on the left suspension arm.

If you know the name of previous Finnish owner, you would likely be able to get the phonenumber from local listings, such as https://www.fonecta.fi/. But be prepared that owner might not have any interest on this matter though.

I gave him this information but the problem was the language barrier.
He can't use it as everything is in Finnish

Few personal messages with Osku. I think the contact info would now be available.

I guess thats the sisu which speaks out of you - Fixing stuff without taking help -
We germans have no time for sisu. We are efficent in fixing stuff! :geek:

I got two phone numbers from Osku. I could get hold of one. He came from Turku and told me he never owned a car in his life, but he knows there is another guy with his name from Tornio. So i guess the second number will do it hopefully. Unfortunately nobody picks up the phone yet.
To be continued...

I didnt mean to offend anyone here in the forum. Sorry, about the german joke. i thought it was funny. but my mother tongue is not finnish. I can try to get everything translated with google translator before posting it, but the translation is so shitty, that nobody would understand a word, i guess. If you want to kick me out here, please go on. I thought it was interesting to have a transnational conversation about the same interests. also i might even be able to help out, if somebody needs something from germany.
we are in scandinavia on a regular basis and would have loved to exchange experiences with locals.


There you go:
En tarkoittanut loukata ketään täällä foorumilla. Anteeksi, saksalaisesta vitsistä. Minusta se oli hauskaa. mutta äidinkieleni ei ole suomi. Voin yrittää saada kaiken käännettynä google-kääntäjällä ennen lähettämistä, mutta käännös on niin paska, että kukaan ei ymmärrä sanaa. Jos haluat potkaista minut tänne, jatka. Mielestäni oli mielenkiintoista käydä kansainvälistä keskustelua samoista eduista. voin jopa pystyä auttamaan, jos joku tarvitsee jotain Saksasta.
olemme säännöllisesti Skandinaviassa ja olisimme mielellämme vaihtaneet kokemuksia paikallisten kanssa.

Don't worry, English is OK. Most understand it well enough. It's also refreshing to see bad jokes in English too... ;)

Ja niille joita englanti häiritsee, oletteko huomanneet, että foorumin jokaisen osion otsikko on myös englanniksi, ehkäpä juuri siksi, että joku tänne eksyvä erimaalainenkin löytää oikealle osastolle jos on jotain asiaa?

Yes, everybody is welcome to our forum. And English is made as an option just for the reason mentioned above. International cooperation gives a lot for this community.
