We had a look at the moulding when I last went to check progress, and if we are lucky we might get one out of it. But who knows, will only know for sure once we try. Will post the results here of course :hangloose:

small Update.

Progress has been slow but , still happening. Things are hectic this time of year for everyone, so cut us some slack please. :mrgreen:

Drums were checked and are actually almost brand new , new shoes fitted.

Suspension and shocks checked and parts replaced where required.

New balljoints fitted in front (uppers where completely shot).

Delivered new battery, brakes, lights, calipers, adapters etc.


To see some of these items mentioned fitted, you'll have to wait till next week.






















kidding :D

Small cellphone pics, maar darem:

Image

This is the new disk and caliper, as well as the adapter to take the notch back to wide 5.(Since we will be using Rostyles).

Ferdi had to spray the adapter to prevent rust, different angle to the pic:

Image

Lastly - for now.

Small indication of what is on the way - emphasis on small:

All I want for Christmas is a bright red notch :-)

Nice work! Pity that someone else beat us both to get our ZA Type 3's in Volksworld, really says a lot about how long we are both taking :twisted:
