Saturday night and it's time for an update


So I had said that the safari windows were dryfitted and weld points established............
































Now cast your mind back to the cargo doors .............





Needs a bit of tlc.........










So then I wanted to have a go at refurbing my speedo........


This is how it started...........not in bad shape really




Stripped apart.......





I made / cut down a rubber grommet to fit over the brass cog so not to damage it.......





Fitted the old pen tube in the end and the other in a drill..........














Happy days........5 mins and reset back to zero. I've reset as everything relevant is going to be new on the bus. Nice to start with 0







Parts rubbed down and masked off for primer.......





Primer.......




Now painted in cream.....





SHOCK HORROR......I've painted the needle red......





The little coloured discs were all brittle and burnt through..........








So I got a new kit from VW Heritage.........





Cleaned it all up ready........








And put it all back together..............


















So things moving on well now. Final stages of preparation before first bits get a first coat of paint


Red 9 delivered this week also

Ill include this in next update.



See ya peeps

Just a quickie.........


Starting to get a build up of stuff...........exciting times





In amoungst all that is the new servo system from VW Jim..........should make it feel goooood







Also at the back one Rusty Lee's full width Rock n roll beds.


Choooooo

Yet Another great update



Well done...



You tease us with no photos of your red9 ::


Mike ..... .. Master cylinder ? ..... It's the metal thing the brake fluid bottle clips into !!!! Well what ever it is ... PAINT IT ..... As I didn't and over the winter months I'm going to have to remove mine from gerry and paint it as its not protected ... I thought it had a protective layer on it but I was wrong and it keeps getting a surface rust on it


So mate paint it now as its easy todo ..... Prep it .... Light coat of etch primer on it them paint it black job done ..... Wish I did it ..... Now I got to take it off thus meaning I have to bleed all my brakes again gggrrrrrrr

Over and out


Mark
