Vinterhi

Så kom cyklen i hi. Min dejlige kæreste ville ha den til at stå i stuen, kan man ønske sig mere. Det er jo et fedt møbel. Hvis boblen ku komme ind stod den der osse.. :-)

Westy window

Yesterday I got my freshly painted sliding door mounted - complete with my newly restored westfalia window. Before I had an awful looking door with two peepholes in it.
Really think it suits the car, and Jens (the mad painter) did a great job on the door - thanks!

Wrenching wednesday

Last wednesday we decided to have break from wrenching and start up the grill - which has been in hibernation mode for almost 7 months now...

Visit from the friday gang.

Friday evening we had a visit from the local friday gang. About 30 people turned up. These guys meet together on fridays to check out each others cars and projects. During the summer they meet at the local parking lot by the highway in Ikast to some serious tire-kicking.
The event is open for everybody with interest in vintage cars - no rules here.
Nice for a change to talk to someone outside the vw community - thank you for a great evening.

Too much spare time vol. 4

Plade racer with centerlines... and slicks.
One day maybe...

Just tripping.

Both Jens and I have in the past week bought a 120km trip speedo.
These are not very common and I have been looking for one for years, and suddenly they just seemed to pop up everywhere.
Both these babies are going in their seperat 54 ovals, is´nt that just sweet?

Yes I know there hasnt been much activity here for a while, but we are just bysy whenchring on the the cars, the spring is just around the corner!
But a 13000 hits girl should you have.

Wanna be Darth Wader

This how we avoid speeding cameras here in Denmark :-)
Or is it just Flenne with another crazy idea from a day of cruising the past summer?

This time I have taken inspiration from our 6Volt friends in Norway and put on a 6Volt babe, I hope you like her?!

1/4 NOS oval

I just bought this NOS piece of sheet metal for a early oval.
Not sure if I dare to use it, but is nice to have :-)

To much sparetime vol 3

Taking a 43 kübelwagen detour

A couple of years ago I had the ride of my life in a 43 kübelwagen.
A well known danish vw vintage entusiast (with whom I share first name with) took me and a friend with him showing what a kübel could do in the open terrain.
It was so much fun and none of the vehicles were spared!
The day after we took his took his type 128 for a swim :-)

Gentlemen start your engines

Today Jens and I started up our two 54 oval (the summer is just around the corner)
Mine had got some new totalseal piston rings, and Jens had got a homemade Abarth exhaust.
We compared the sound of the two exhausts as they werent made out of the same kind of stock exhaust, which do you think sounds better?

Gentlemen Start your engines

Uncle Gustav

Another familiar face from our roadtrip the other day is Gustav.
Gustav loves most of the aircooled machineri ever made (nur Volkswagens :-) )
and he have owned several cars all from type 1 to type 4 and everything in between.
His current project is this 51 split, I hope to see the car on the road for 2009 then we both can put on our blue hats and take a cruise together.

Mad kübel

Gullers bus

Yesterday Jens and I was on a roadtrip visiting and collecting parts from several vw people in the area, one of them was Guller. He is currently in the middle of restoring this 65 split bus, and as you can see on the pictures he is saving money on his clothing budget to buy sheetmetal for his bus :-)

Tough call

I have these four Sprints, and I am not sure if I want to change them for my whitawall crossplies look. On the other hand the crossplies just suit the car perfect! Then I thought about using them for my waterhose in the garage, but the hose is to long to fit the 4,5" and to short for the 5,5" :-)

60 ragtop vol 5 (Marriage)

Today the body and the pan met eacother for the first time in a 1 1/2 year.
It really looks good!
And I know there are some parts ont the over the atlantic to make the car even nicer!

On the way to eternal summer cruising in heaven

I can´t expect you guys to keep believe in all the things that I see to and from work. But the other day something caught my eye standing a little higher than the road, I was not sure that had seen right, so today in the day light I went of to check out if I was right in my observasion, and I was!!! There alog the road stood a burned out and rusted early 911/912 (I am not sure how to tell the difrents, besides the engine) It is a pitty to see such a nice car end its life like that, don´t you think?

Heavy breathing

Here it is compared to a original cabrio lid.


Here it just got some black paint with a rattle can just to see how it looks.

Flenne wanted to get some more air into the 193 horses he is hiding under his decklid. We talked about several options and finally came up with this, to graft in the louvres from a newer decklid (they are almost identical to the original ones on a cabriolet) So that is what I did, the funny thing is that the decklid I took them louvres from is actually from Flenne´s first car.

New kid on the block (driving)

New kid on the block.

Bjarke has long been wishing for a new aicooled car, since he sold the black devil to Jens his life has just not been the same.
So when he called to ask if would go with him him check out a 59 in Aarhus I was on!
The car is as mentioned a 1959 type 1 deluxe first registered 23/12 1959 I guess it must have been someones christmas present back then :-)
The car is pretty solid and there are only a few things that needs to get fixed before Bjarke and his famely are ready for the spring.

On the way home it started snowing, and you know the roads a slippery when you are broadsiding in 3gear with only 34hp under you right foot ;-)

Let there be light.

A couple of months ago Jens bought this matching set of Bosch acccessory lights for the 54 one foglight and one highbeam. So finally yesterday we recieved the much needed brackets so they could go on the car.
Nothing beats a 6volt car, even modern cars with xenon etc dont have this much light :-)

Happy New Year

Happy new year to all you VW freaks out there..
