Re: 1972 fastback. nwe 532k
Yep, have them ready for fitting, done a long way back. Nothing to go on at the time, but I reckon these will do the job. Drain chutes and door flap. I have some rubber channel seal that will fit nicely around chute edge. https://i.imgur.com/BRJLEaX.jpg When the flap is closed, it will sit against t...

Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback
Its definitely the small fiddly bits that take up the time. Its often hard to make progress,
but they have to be done properly all the same.
Looking good...

Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback
Bashing a panel that big is bloody hard work, it just seems that when you have it just where you need it to be, and boom another bash seems to put it all out of shape. Definitely trying work. Probably why so many repairs are made up of zillions of patches. But the one panel is the business. Nice one

Re: 1972 fastback. nwe 532k
And just when I'm starting to get these fiddly bits wrapped up,
I manage to get my greasy mitts on a nice little Denbigh no 3 Flypress
for very small money.
Beautiful simple tried and trusted engineering. A perfect tool to enhance the hand eye co ordination.
Where was it many months ago...

Left hand corner of the engine bay panels need replacing. Too far gone for patching, so newly made panels were the only option. Main panel well rotted out. https://i.imgur.com/tBgcZVT.jpg Lefthand end panel in poor shape too. https://i.imgur.com/6fly1t2.jpg Right hand end panel disintegrated. https:...

Air Fed Respirator
Whats the best method of ensuring a clean air supply for an air fed mask.
I want to make sure that I supply any new mask with clean air,
and not an oily mist from my compressor

Re: 1972 fastback. nwe 532k
My bumper mounts have two slots on the top, and one slot on the bottom. But is in a bit of a shabby mess, that will probably need a bit of fettling. And rather than rely on hitting the mark spot on the first time out, I decided to pop in a few bolt holes to allow me a good bit of adjustment. Plenty ...
