Bwhahaha, sies Donovan, well spotted, now I'm really embarrased. Its not connected to anything though, just ads to the "vintage" look of my compressor[emoji12]

Thats the real one, haha, nothing like a Festo!

took me a while to find the water trap in the pics... was much easier spotting the gliders

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.

Think i should find a big white bed sheet or something to use behind my photos in the future, to many spying eyes out there! [emoji12] ya i don't even pump tyres with that thing Donovan

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.

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

Managed to get the knuckles on last night and sway bar. Now just busy with the biring stuff, cleaning and plating of more nuts and bolts.

Some finished parts

Very impressive....really very impressive....doing your plating.....and the work on the beam is absolutely passed what I have seen on most show vehicles.

Pierre

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!

The beam is now back on the pan as well as new brake hard lines, new ss fuel pipe, electric pump, and dual master cylinder, discs are assembled, niw just trying to source the stub axle locking nuts and washers. I'm using type 3 drums at the back, they are good but i am looking for new shoes if anyone can help?

Nice work, good to see you on it, Should be ready to run soon.

Good luck, and keep going.

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

I love the detail.
Good work.
