Haha, was going to ask how you manage to spray using that. I bought one a couple of years back, cheap and cheerfull. Ended up R300 down the drain as it doesn't trap, and I ended up sanding the part down again.

62Restcal,

I think people are just trying to tell you to post more pics......they are going into the previous pics and has scrolled through it so many times that they are starting to see "other" details in the back ground. :hangloose:

Next episode (pics) please...I am only asking before Donovan D sees something else :shock: ...must distract him quickly...LOL!! :wink:

Making slow progress, but at least trying to keep up with the project. Overhauled the pedal assembly, had the pedals powdercoated and cleaned everything up nicely. The stop plate was missing so had to fabricate one, not quite in the same mounting position as the original but much stronger. The accelerator pedal also had a lot of play on it, so i soldered in a brass bushing and made a new hinge pin....muuuch better now! ImageImageImageImageImageImage

62RestCal,

I have taken old Type 3 brake shoes and had them relined on my Type 3 Notchback and they work a charm. The issues is even finding old linings as well. At least and idea of sorts to start with.

How is your Dad....loved him...he is s hoot....send him my regards and remember I will be home the 15th Of April 2016 so drop me line. The quality of your work is exemplary as always.

I have a birthday bash at Lead wood Inn so give me call for an invite.

Cheers,

Pierre :hangloose:
