Here I'll publish what has been done at the web site and when.

22 January 2004, not much has happened beside having moved to a new house. I have at least corrected the site and added a new link
20 October 2003, visit to the painter in August 2003 (Chassis-Putting it all together)
19 October 2003, more pictures and text under Restoration-Engine, pedal restoration can be found under Restoration-Miscellaneous as well as from Hjulafton 2002 (Chassis-Putting it all together)

27 August 2003, The chapter "Why it became a Mercedes, written by my father" added to History
25 August 2003, Guestbook and Search my site added, answered the question "How long time does it take?" on Restoration/Dismantling and completed the description of the brake booster restoration.
17 August 2003, Heating and ventilation part finished. New picture of finished fuel pump as well as a short description of the water pump restoration under Restoration-Engine. Do you want to know how I mix semi gloss paint now? See Miscellaneous. I've also added the Restoration-Brakes page. There are only some pictures there at the moment. To be described too.
13 August 2003, Addition of heating and ventilation parts under Restoration-Miscellaneous.
6 July 2003, Acknowledgements list updated as well as some minor corrections.
22 April 2003, the site moved to my new, own domain at www.swehjo.com.
15 April 2003, restoration of doors, fenders, hood etc has been put on an own page. Pictures of the ongoing restoration of the doors added. You can also see that all parts were test mounted on the chassis before the final painting. Restoration-Chassis has been divided into three different pages. The newly started engine restoration can be found on Restoration-Engine. Three more pictures of screws (!) can be found under Miscellaneous
1 December 2002, put some new stuff under Miscellaneous, Restoration-Front axle and Restoration-Miscellaneous.
29 September 2002, you'll find a bunch of photos under Restoration-Propeller shaft, -Motor, -Chassis and Miscellaneous as well as some interesting things under History.
12 August 2002, two more pictures on Restoration-Propeller shaft for our discussion on the list.
9 August 2002, added a new section, Restoration-Propeller shaft. Only added some pictures of the dismantling process due to a discussion on the Ponton mailing list. Text will be added later.
26 June 2002, added some links
24 June 2002, Updated my rear axle question. I do hope you understand it now!
17 June 2002, new "Question to my visitors", this time regarding the rear axle. Also added a couple of photos the Restoration-Rear axle. How now found a garage, just waiting for a contract to sign so I'm not 100% "home" yet!
30 May 2002, moved everything connected to group 88, Chassis Sheet metal parts from Miscellanious to Chassis. In the chassis section you'll also find info about doors, hood etc etc... So there are some new pic's.
27 April 2002, added text on the Restoration-Miscellanious-Steering box
24 April 2002, corrected the link to MB Ponton pages (thanks Jeff!) as well as updated the Acknowledgement and Restoration-Miscellanious
23 April 2002, added some text to the Motor page as well as some stuff - incl pictures of the work with the steering box - on Restoration-Miscellanious
9 April 2002, more photos added to Restoration-Motor. Have been working intensively with carburetor, fuel pump, steering box as well as intermediate steering lever. Everything takes 10 times longer time than planned; new parts take time before they arrive and are sometimes wrong, when one tries to use them one realizes that the shop that repaired carb/pump/etc 15 years ago did it in the wrong way and so on and so on. And don't forget all the time you have to spend on trying to figure out how it's supposed to assembled in real life (and not according to the shop manual where everything is very easy), which tools you have to have at hand (or you have to spend half a day to find somewhere to buy it), that paint has to dry, that you have to be nice and social with neighbors. All in all - great fun! And still I haven't found my needed garage. I've got one but it's a little bit too small, but it's much better than no garage!
17 January 2002, more photos added to the chassis incl the sliding roof frame as well as to the new page Restoration-Motor.
14 January 2002, photos added to the chassis and rear axle section. I also started to compile an page with acknowledgements which can be found from the main menu.
6 January 2002, added some new links. Some work has been done during the Christmas holiday; carburator, fuel pump and filter dismantled and glass beaded, all screws, washer etc re-finished in yellow, new parts ordered. I also dismantled the steering box for its comming repair (new gaskets and sealings as well as new bearings). Photos will come up here as soon as possible. Now I've probably found a garage, something like 25km south of me, but hey, it's a garage!!
3 September 2001, Some minor corrections. Only some minor work has beend done on the car so far since I'm missing the needed garage.
23 July 2001, new links and some minor corrections
6 July 2001, "How to take a car appart"-section added. Some photos moved from the chassis-restoration section to the new one.
1 July 2001, small layout update
29 June 2001, ooops, I discovered that I had no link to Ray Ilich's and Jeff Miller's Ponto page! Sorry, it is now added .... I did also update my style sheets and did some other stuff regarding the layout. I hope it works for all of you!
26 June 2001, erased the web ring... didn't work. Anyone with information about this web ring? Added a Restoration-Miscellaneous. A photo of my welder is also added under Main-Miscellaneous as well as more photos and text under Chassis. The Rear axle-section do now have some information to share. The Front axle-section has one more photo...
7 June 2001, tried to join, insert and get the Mercedes-Benz web ring to work.. Is it really up and running???. I also added more photos and text under the Chassis section as well as some new links
18 May 2001, new question to my visitors plus more photos of the ongoing work on the chassis. There is also a new page about the work with the rear axle, but it only relates to the Chassis page. Photos and so on will be added as soon as they arrive...
