TL service & stuff

Today I checked TL rear brakes as they were squeeking, but nothing was found, liners were Ok etc. So just a clean up and assembly. I sorted out the oil leak on the left valve cover, which turned out to be a over "relaxed" valve cover clip I suppose. I also threw in KYB Kayaba Gas-A-Just shocks at rear, so TL is ready for 900km summer vacation trip! Just needed to trim the lower bushing a bit.

I bought these 6V orange turn signal bulbs from Paruzzi/Oberschlacter.fi for my Ragtop for 1,35euros /pair , as I couldn't find any locally

Fitting The Shoes

Some "shoe fitting", once again. Jari's '66 is really cool, but I have to admit 17" BRM:s suits it way better than the fifteens he has on it.

Otto's first car

My son Otto got his first VW today. It's old Sony auto hifi promo car, very rusty, but it was free. Click here for more shots on the Facebook.

Some Stuff

I got NOS 12V Type3 choke element and new chrome ring VDO temp gauge. I need the choke element for TL's stock carb as the other one has a dead choke.

TL Maintenence

Left carb had some fuel leakage, and it caused some fuel smell to the garage, and naturally was a minor fire hazard too, so I changed original Solex PDShits to NOS Dell'orto 40 DRLA's with new Type3 CB Hexbar linkage. Aren't those NOS carbs clean, HUH? Paavo the carb guru was helping me with jetting and he polished the throats just for fun. I also threw in 123 ignition and four tip spark plugs. And new front disks with new FAG bearings, only to find out that it was the rear brakes that were squeeking...

Mayday Meeting

Couple of shots from today.

Techno Classica Selected#5 356

Rare cars, rare wheels, let the pictures speak for them selves.

Radio plate exhange

Rarely I would favour repro over original, but I bought this plate with trim extensions from Techno Classica, and the original is from my Notchback anyway. So to Ragtop it went.

Techno Classica Selected#4 911s

73 RS restored by RUF, it doesn't get much better than that.

Light weight lights.

I suppose this was real '67 R

Conda or Viper green? Nice colors either one.

 

Really well restored Hell Gelb Targa.

Not my cup of green.
