Just realised that it has been quite a while since I recorded anything here !!
We still work full time ++ so little has been done on my projects for too long. My garage time is spent keeping the tractors, caterpillars, trailers, vineyard and market "classics" going , leaving little spare time for the toys. I use 50 yr old tractors, a 60 yr old caterpillar tractor and a mix of Appia/Ardea/Mini moke/Renault 4's as my everyday transport, so it's not all bad
However, back to the toys.
The Cabrio was never quite finished, so a few final details before re-registering in my name .....
First up was to make a new cover for the brake M/C - I copied the central plate, using a bead roller and then shrinker. Then I found some nice square sided , cylindre-shaped set screws for the clutch cover vented plate. These are the same as my S2 so I think that the style is correct (nobody sees it, but I know it's there !)
After that was fitting the other indicator and wiring up the headlamps. I used a blade fuse just whilst working on the electrics so as not to risk the more delicate short fuse for the ancillary fusebox. Similarly, the red fuses will be replaced by more attractive black or white fuses
Next up are the rear lights and interior light and to find some windscreen wipers because those that I have are wrong
Let's hope that it doesn't take another year !
