The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

One of mine fell off on the way to Mot, at least the wheel wasnt attached

 

In that case mine will never be finished

 

Laid under it and its still not got any oil leaks. Maybe there's no oil in it

Inserted mysrelf under the dash, pulled bits, did a dry fart, swore, and entered the hell hole that is vwheritage website. Jesus Christ.

 

Get stuck in, para. Just put it all back together again, or it will never be finished...

 

I haven't painted anything and mine is finished !

 

I find the VWH search very useful. If I'm after something like novelty tea towels or party poppers, I just enter "Beetle brake master cylinder". Tea towels are always top of the list.

You've got serious work to do, VWH. Your site's a mess.

 

For sure

 

Sorting out loads of jobs before putting engine back in:

Fitted right side heater cable
Put leisure battery back in
Fitted both handbrake cable tube rubber boots to keep the grime out.
Fitted new steering damper as old one had no resistance what so ever.
High temp painted replacement left heat exchanger.
Stuck on some more silent coat.
Fitted replacement Dometic CRX50 and tested.
Went to fit heat exchanger then found I have lost an exhaust stud somewhere
Found rusty mess on bottom of left beam tower. Will need to clean and weld a patch over in very near future.

If I can find the stud, it will be nice to attempt to put the engine back in tomorrow.

 

I meant because I'm not fitting hubcaps

 

Sprayed the bezels inside my gauges as they looked a little rusty. Came out really nice with a Rustoleum Matt Black from Homebase . Need to figure out how to hold my mgb rev counter in place and then do a dash light test to make sure the new gauge is not lit up like Las Vegas!

 

Fixed my brake lights then took it for its MOT.. passed no advisories. Woohoo.

 

Measured up the new brake lines for the remote servo. Waiting for a new brake pipe de-burring tool. Cant find mine.

 

Countersink bit? File?

 

I am just a stickler for the right tool. Makes the job easier and I am family busy for a couple of days so have to wait anyway.

 

Spent the weekend on the propex

Couple of pics, I will upload some more tonight with the manifold and electrics fitted.

Recovered rock and roll seat

 

went to post office today to get Tax exempt sorted out, ended up phoning DVLA and putting Historic in Vehicle Changes box, plonked in envelope with copy of MOT registerd post and now look forward to spending my road tax money on bits and pieces for Tilly,

 

Built in Feb 75 I phoned DVLA and they told me what to do and I will wait and see
