Another little updated, this week i dropped a few things off to Richie for the engine, and picked up some rather lovely carbon fibre running boards. So as the sun beat down on a lovely Sunday morning i dragged my hungover self to the workshop (drinking with mates from my Airforce, never gets easier) with Daniel and we set about fitting them. Richie has got the weave looking great running at a 45 degree angle pointing to the front. Next on the list was a bit of preparation for the new brake kit, this went a lots faster than anticipated and in half an hour, under the careful supervision of the lad i had the front drums off. That's it for today but things are moving in the right direction.

Thanks lads!

Carriers are reamed!
Big thanks to @von_komet on instagram, who helped me with this.




I bought some grease fittings and a corresponding thread tap in M8x1. I tapped the holes in the beam and installed new fresh fittings with small rubber caps. Neat..




Then I greased the leaf spring packs and bundled them together. Threaded them through the frame and cut off the zip ties.




Washed the rubber bushings and mounted the frame in the body. With caster shims to compensate for a bit of rake and lost angle from the adjusters.




With some new seals and new shock absorbers, the control arms are also in place on the car.



I cleaned up and threw some paint on the drop spindles.





Cleaned up some bolts and nuts and mounted the steering box, steering damper, and tie rods.





Then a package arrived! I threaded these carriers as well and gave them a bit of paint.






After some messy work with grease hydraulic press and the twatting stick, I assembled one spindle.



Unfortunately, that’s all I managed this week.
This weekend, The Volkswagen club Twin Peak Boxers is exhibiting at a local indoor car show, so I’ll be busy there.
But next week the work continues!
