Whoooo Rob, it’s been to long since i checked in here…..but what a progress you and the kid made!
All these carbon parts look like a million dollars buddy. Especially with the white paint. Just lovely!
Keep it up!!
Many thanks Fred we are slowly getting there. Now there haven't been any updates as i've been out in California for the DKP 60th and HotVWS Cal Look edition 50th anniversary, which was a full on week. However it was soon back home, back to work and this week fired with enthusiasm got back to work on the project. My son was a bit busy this weekend, which gave me a straight run at things. If you follow me on instagram you will have seen that beam was not usable. When we stripped off the powder coating the adjusters had been welded in very poorly ruining the beam. So it was off for a wallet hurting purchase after some rapid research i went from a mid priced Cb Performance one to a Cagero one, complete with 8 roller bearing and losts of Swiss loveliness. That arrived the weekend before i went away and despite my sons and mines efforts we ran out of power getting it located.
On my return with Jay we soon and the top bolts in and I was quickly bolting it in as he shorted the leaves and track rods. Which meant i could get the front end buttoned up, and the new wheels on. the geometry needs to be set and some torquing needs to be done, but it's 90% done. Jay will hopefully be fitting the rears brake kit and wheels in the next couple of weeks.
So what does that leave?
1) Oil System to finish plumbing in.
2) Gauges to complete wiring
3) Fuel System to plumb in, including sealing the fuel tank and fitting that,
4) MSD to fit and wire in. (Carbon panel has been bought for that.
5) New wheels studs fitted as the current ones are too short.
6) Engine fit and fire it up.
7) Interior carbon panel to make for rear seat space.
A couple of other cosmetic things i want to do
Finally here are the pics
