I bought new drums and sprayed them red, hope to get some wheels like 5 spokes to let them show through. Fiddliest bit was those damn brake shoes and getting the new springs on.

👍👍👍

👍🙏

I used that jb weld hi temp sealant on my 202 gaskets, works great. Permatex for head bolts and hoses and everything else.

A great VW. Thanks for sharing.

👍

You’ve been pumping the vids out lately Bruce. Where’d ya get the wheel from? Wouldn’t mind one with a black rim, not keen in the wood grain.

This happens all the time in Canada too. Even at dealerships! My brother-in-law had his Toyota Camry serviced exclusively by the local dealer. One day he was in the middle of nowhere on a dusty gravel road, headed to a favourite fishing lake when he got a flat tire. You guessed it: he was unable to remove the wheel. He had to walk miles and miles to find help and call a tow truck. The lug nuts were so tight the shop had to strap an eight-foot 2x4 to a tire iron for leverage.

I did what you were careful not to, I pressed that bloody clip down and the screwdriver went into the boot. Wrapped some tape around it, not like it will leak everywhere.

Coming on well 👍keep at it mate 👍🇬🇧

Looks new.

A great design. A gargantuan project! It will look great behind your van. Thanks.

The Holden: What American car is it possibly comparable to, if at all?

👍

Does a good job, you'd have have to go through bin to find the small 9"

Putting them back together is a bigger job then most people know and I just about got mine back with out missing parts but still have a instrument light issue and thinking it might be the light switch itself maybe. Might have to buy a new one so to eliminate that side

How did you go getting pitman arm off which is a nightmare

Hope someone can help you with a cap replacement Bruce. I had a issue with my p/s also and went back to a manual box and I put a kit throw it so it back to there it was when a brought the Hq and does bring back memories of wrestling the car around 😅

first mate

Reminds Me of a "Mullins Red Cap"

Beautiful . I Love it !!

Very Nice... Great Project

You've put a lot of time and effort into it, probably more than you imagined when you started, I guess we all want to see it finished but if you need a break from it we will just have to wait

The form of the body is almost all compound curves. That’s a mind torquer. Obviously, you love a challenge.

How about a chrome rack on top?

Coming on well mate alot of work but it will be a one off when done keep at it 👍👍🇬🇧

I ask you , can you re think it ? I do believe you have a great idea and would look great being pulled by a buggy or a trike . My thought was go the pop tent rout by reinforcing the sides to be able to accommodate 2 electric pistons and extend the deck lid 3/4 of the whole build with a lip seal to keep the weather out . As you have the lid completely open , you could have a 3 sided weather proof canvas tent pop out .

Great idea. It makes me feel a little stupid doing it the other way all these years. I'm going to try this on a forklift today!

A bit of a conundrum about the crease, maybe end the crease before the bonnet

Wtf

This trailer is an ambitious project. A worthy project.

Compound curves galore…A real brain torquer…

I’ve just replaced the bush in my 253. It seems the roll pin for the cam sprocket needs a lot of force. How did you go getting it in?

Symmetry may exist in man-made forms…But humans are not perfectly symmetrical. Women subconsciously look for symmetry in mates. Maybe that’s why I’m not having any luck…Ha-ha! No worries.

A nice form for a trailer.

Making headway…Looking good mate. Thanks.

👍

Uterus.

Reminds me of cutting a spanner in half to do the timing..use to use the oil filter in 6cyl as I thought it had stronger spring? I did snap the cam once not putting the oil pump in correctly,that sux.Hi

Did some chasing of no spark and replaced the distributor with my mates one only to find I had a ignition switch issue which was the last part removed.Just for your info there doesn’t seem to be any rotor buttons for Bosch Dissy any more unless you have anymore info of there to get as repco said no longer available

I recently bought an electronic torque wrench and the best thing is you don’t need to worry about backing off the tension before putting it away and you don’t need to always change the torque because it will display where you are at as you put on the pressure. Selecting from nm to ft-lbs etc is a simple press of a button. Best thing I’ve bought in a while. Other wrench failed with the adjuster at the bottom not winding in properly, friggin last time I buy a kinchrome wrench.

hi there, just had the same problem. you re video didn't give me the solution but helped me, thanks

Well engineered mate.

Wow!

It is interesting. Sorting it out to work takes time. You are a problem solver. Thanks.

Have a new year mate😀👌🏼

A creative approach to trailer building…A true noodle torques.Great job.

The rear hinges look like they work ok, the front probably needs the bonnet on to make sure it lines up. You should remove the lights to better see how it's going to look

Dishwashing liquid s'posed to be good for your hands

Put an engine in it with another drive shaft to the towing beetle. Now that would be a project.
