Having a big clear out

Have around 400 magazines (maybe more) that either need to be collected or thrown in the bin.

Mainly Volksworld but there are some Ultra VW and Retro Cars.

Totally free - you’ve just got to drive to Bromley, SE London to collect.
Sorry, I just don’t have the time to go through them all for specific months, come and collect and play lucky dip  Cheesy

NOS original EMPI wood dash panels in excellent condition still in its original blister packaging. The corners are lifting as pictured great addition to your collection or your display case or to install on your EMPI accessorized Volkswagen beetle.

Looking for a pre 59 style speedwell steering wheel adapter.
Could swap for a 60-74 version.

Thanks for looking,

Michiel

The front wheel's center cap fit perfectly over the grease cap. However, it looks like it's taken a bit of a beating earlier in its life.




It fits in the back without any problems too.


I read a bit on the forums about the Flat4 BRM wheels, and apparently the speedometer cable is also supposed to fit inside the center cap if you grind down the grease cap where it bottoms out in the drum. So I ground it down about 3–4 mm and also ground down the end of the speedo cable.


The brakes are mounted on the driver’s side too.




The cable just barely fit!



Had to snap a little inspiration photo with the fender on!


The transmission has also been filled with fluid as well.


Next step was a bit of plumbing. All brake lines and hoses will be replaced, as well as the master cylinder.




The old brake fluid reservoir came out too.


Old and new! Upgrading to a dual-circuit master cylinder.


First, a bit of paint.



Assembled


I reused the original boot for the pedal since it had a better fit and was surprisingly fresh.


Installed in the car and brake lines made.




New lines in the back too, of course.




Before the pedal assembly was mounted, I cleaned the rubber section of the mat behind it.




Then it was just a matter of filling the system and bleeding it. Thanks to Roger (Local Twin Peak Boxers-member) who helped me with this!


Now she’s out! Rolling and braking!




We did discover, however, that one side in the front needs to be adjusted for correct camber… I’ll need to move a few shims in the spindle to correct this.


This also means everything has been filmed for Episode 2. Coming soon! Next step is to get some paint on the repaired areas and fenders.

"The more I looked in the mirror, the more I realized how worn out everything is. Plus, everything is covered in grease, filth, and oddly enough burnt rubber..."

There, I corrected it for you!  Kiss
