The Caminofication, Malibu Edition.

So, a month ago I run in these pictures of a Chevrolet Malibu "customed" for Caminofication on facebook. First thing that comes to mind is redneck. No offence to the owner of this extraordinary Caminofication. 




And judging by these photos it's kind of okay Caminofication. It has best of both worlds, luxury of four doors, back seat and larger enough trunk to haul some of bigger stuff. Like one on the picture. Couldn't do if there were a trunk lid on the way, now can you?

Yearly Inspection 2014

Yes, 2014 yearly inspection. In Finland your inspection time is determined by last number on your license plate. As I have 9 as a last number my inspection time is between August and November. And as I didn't do my yearly inspection last autumn my El Camino wasn't eligible for driving since last December.

So first thing was to head to inspection after a little help from a friend. As it is old inspection engineer was kind of forgiving for few minor things that I'll be addressing before next yearly inspection which is, well you guessed, between next August and November. And this time I'll be doing it before I'll put El Camino in the garage for winter hibernation. Three minor issues was marked up and main problem is drivers side rear tail light. Blinker fluids are okay! ;) Driving lights works on and off. This issue has been around now for few years. Sometimes it works and then sometimes it doesn't. I am thinking of a problem in wiring in the middle of from switch and tail.

I was going to take a pictures of those three things, but haven't got around to shot those pictures, so here are some other pictures:

I've seen these picture from time to time and with the jalopiknik article about this cool Cadillac El Camino I started searching more and reading more about it.

That would be awesome. Huge engine and the luxury of Cadillac. Caminofication is pure in this one. That is of course debatable.

Oh and it feels good to be driving around again.
