But i think I like it when it looks new..... So I had to build a shelf today to get a system in all the parts. And I have to admit that its nice to look at the shelf and see all the nice clean parts.....

Where did you get that poster from? I want one!

if I remember correctly, I got mine off of eBay...

Saturday I mounted the rear beam and sprayed the bottom with some bodycoat.

Flipped it over and started to put together the frontbeam, new needle bearings (thanks to Bert3) and mostly finished. Having an issue with one of the old tie rods. Wont come off so I have to think of a good way to get it off from the "tube" dont know if thats the right word.... All the parts to get brakes in front are finished. I like it...

Impressive man, real nice! What color are you going to paint it, did I miss it somewhere?

Sun Nov 22, 2009 2:06 pm

Just gonna have it the original classic color. Think it is L568

Sun Nov 22, 2009 8:55 pm

looks very nice, great work! I know you'll have a nice finished product!

Working with the axles and I think I have a plan. Machine the drums is the first thing Im gonna do. A friend of mine did this on his T34 a year ago so I will visit him and maybe things will come to an end.

Well the fuchs are finally done, and am I glad.......

Doing progress with the axles.. the inner spacer in the axels are not the same on short vs long ones. The dark one is from the long axle and you can see it has another profile.
The outer spacer are the same.

The bearing house is also different so this must also be from the short axle to get the bearing to fit.

And today I cleaned the engine so now it looks like one....... :-)
Just going to have this pretty standard and maybe build a bigger one later...

What type of steel did you use to fix this up? I have to do the same repair :D

Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:35 pm

Think it is 0.9mm. Easy to work with when making all the profiles.

Wed Dec 09, 2009 3:21 pm

Curious about those "spacers".

do you know which part they are on this diagram? I have short Axles in a box, but I dont recall seeing anything like that.

It is the inner spacer nr 20. This spacer is right on to the axle and before the bearing. I can make some pics if you want to.[/i]

The progress here is not the best in the country but its winter and cold as the north pole in my garage. But in the basement I have a room to fix all kind of things and ofcourse the right temperature. Have been collecting some nice original parts this summer and they all needed some love to be perfect. So I guess pictures tells more than thousand words.....

Now i almost cant wait for spring to come. We have now a new record in our country with 47 days with snow.
Today I picked up an complete engine that came from a -67 notchback that is getting an subaro engine. I will try to fire this engine this weekend if it isnt too cold.....Pics will come..... I have also bought back my -57 T1 Callook. I sold this car in 2007 and its finally back... Will come back with this one...

Sun Feb 14, 2010 2:16 pm

Finally got the rear hubs back. 2mm on the inside and 13mm on the outer side. Fit perfect. Some issues with the plate where the rubber stops on the spring plate but the grinder fix that problem so that the wheels have clearance. I think its good... So i hope that in a couple of weeks the chassie will be on top of this...

Mon Mar 15, 2010 3:30 pm

Body and chassie in one piece again and I am satisfied where the wheel came

Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:37 am

Well I can see an end of this project. I am very satisfied so far and it has been some good days in the garage.

Things coming together.......

And now I am standing with the carpet of the rear trunk. I have no idea what is right or wrong here so if anybody has pics i will be happy. It is TMI all of it...

Had to pull it out of the garage today and get some dust off the car. It starts to look ok to me so a couple of weeks and i hope its on the road...

Mon Apr 05, 2010 2:51 pm

looks great!

Sun Jul 18, 2010 2:54 pm

I have had the car on the road for a couple of months now and its really fun. Drives like a dream and I am very satisfied so far. Some pics to enjoy.

And today I had to try to fit the 16"fuchs with 225 rubber I have on my oval. I did not think It would fit but.....seems good to me...

15" above and 16" below
