[Bad Ass Bob]

So what you saying is tommy put the spark back in your rear end LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!B.A.B

[Chris]

Yip,now it is sorted.Next time I won't take anything for granted.

[Chris]

Just a small update.My EMPI shifter,new rear light asemblies and new bullet flicker lenses,has arrived in SA,thanks to Calooker.When I am home next week,preparation for George will start

[Tony Z]

cool... get busy now. only 6 weeks to go

[Chris]

Thanks Calooker,I got my stuff from the PO today.

[Chris]

Now that I have some time on my hands,I got into the mood to get the DC going again.I fixed the brakes today and fitted the new rear light assemblies.
Took out the old ones



Fitted the new ones,with chromed surrounds

[Tony Z]

nice, but now you can see that the reflector needs some TLC.

Energy at the end of the holidays....

[Chris]

Next I fitted the new EMPI shifter
Old one out


New one in


After I fitted it,I took her for a drive,and only when I was halfway around the block,realised I didnn't have 3rd and 4th gear.I had to stop and adjust the shifter,and now has all the gears.What a pleasure when it doesn't feel like you are rowing.

[Chris]

Yeah,those reflector surrounds has to come off again and be rechromed.

[Chris]

The carpet was next.I glued the carpet to the rubber mat I cut out,and left a "wing" at the back that could go up and under the seat


The last thing today was the VW badge,which came out quite nice

[Tony Z]

looking nice....

[Chris]

Old bullet lenses where pretty much done


New Bullet lenses

[Pine]
