Oops I did it Again - Late Bay called Henry -maybe

[Warwick-Lowlight]

Well after a few years off line and up a chickens bum

Got a call from a lad not to far from where I live : Is jy die Kombi man he asks

Well I had to answer yes but whats up

Turns out he had a fair decent version that had to come home with me

Meet Henry - so called as it is the previous owners name

Pity about the hack job to add water

At least the Chilli bus lives on and still has some bits of metal that will come in handy to fill them holes







For now cleaning up the shed of all the nasty bits

This will be a good one for the 2020 year that's fast approaching

Greetings to all you peeps out there

It would seem that this Lokidown and Covid business has had me slightly on the ropes

Quick little update
Had an aircooled engine that was going to go into Henry - This from our engine special dude in Villiersdorp
This was a rush deal just prior to the lockdown

Anyway progress a few months down the line when on my 3rd visit to the blasted Traffic Department to renew my license
After a 3 hr wait to get my eyes tested

Needed some destress so popped in at Arno
5 minutes later I was changed from 1600 Twin air to a 2.1 Water
This as the conversion had already been done

Now I am sure there will be some banter re this - Anyhow its all done

Drive train all sorted - brakes etc

So now - slowly sorting the rat eaten wiring loom and then hope to be blasting down the road

Wife and I thinking of a little pop up Shop - Vintage WorX

Great, think you will appreciate the extra power.

Is that the wasserbox or the inline motor?

Enjoy the ride.

Hi Retro- Van
Trust things all good up there in mAdibaville

Will send some better pics this weekend

[Warwick-Lowlight]

Well this is where I started on saterday
Rats eaten some wires so left side lights and signals not working

Decided to remove the whole dash

[Warwick-Lowlight]

Well th usual Po hacked the hell out of the dash to instal some radio device
Some lite welding repairs and some matt black

fairly stoked

[Warwick-Lowlight]

As you all have certainly experienced

Many additional wires that are just dangerous
Removed what was not needed and taped the whole lot up

[Warwick-Lowlight]

Also a little clean of all the rat sex etc that had accumulated over the years in storage

[Warwick-Lowlight]

After some cursing managed to get the whole lot back in place

Next time will try harder to get the blasted steering wheel out
Seems he needs a little strong persuading

So after a little effort this weekend
All lights now functioning and signals all good

[AlanH]

Always a good feeling if one managed t sort something out and it is working again.
