https://i.ibb.co/vHnGzYQ/Glyco-0-3-mm-rod-bearings.jpg I bought a new set of 0.3 mm oversized connecting rod bearings in case the other shop that now has the crankshaft for refinishing can keep it at the same size. The shop is very busy so it could be another month or more before I get the cranksha...

Update: When the engine block was removed I decided to take the connecting rods apart so I could change the bolts with the new ones I got from Germany and had forgotten to ask the shop to install. Well, when the first one came off I could see that the brand new bearing shell had a deep scratch in it...

The reinforcements are in the passenger door seal now. Looks good!

Hi, bassplayer. Not yet.... I took a break from working on the car in the late summer and soon the work will resume. Upcoming work includes removing the engine block/pistons from the car so I can replace the connecting rod bolts ...then the head will be installed, engine back in the car and I hope a...

I took the advantage of the current pause in work to clean the old door seals. The new replicas available these days are too thick and press too hard against the doors when shut and because the rubber of the originals seems to be in decent condition, I thought I'd spend a few hours cleaning one up t...

That is THE question but I don't know the answer. There was no impact damage visible on the head anywhere. The surface had all been machined at the factory in the 1970s so somehow it changed its shape after that, a very small, but measurable amount. I hope that this is the end of the problem! If not...

After filling the engine with coolant several weeks ago, there was a leak from the joint of the head gasket. It was a new head so the shop that assembled it assumed it was flat and not needing a resurfacing. I took the head off and it was checked, and although it was flat, there was a small area abo...

2 speed wiper motor mounted. I'm not sure where the motor is in its duty cycle so the wiper arms are off until that's figured out. Wiper-motor-installed.jpg A pain in the rear-end to cinch up the accelerator cable fixing screw....but we got it done. Throttle-Body-Cable.jpg Giraffe funnel makes short...

I removed the copper plated fuel injector lines from the engine because I was not confident that they were clean, and I flushed each one inside with hydrochloric acid (HCl) using a syringe to flush it back and forth. Lots of rust, particulates and rusty coloured fluid came out at first, and then rin...

This weekend all I did on the car was install the exhaust pipe. With a lift it's a short job but on the ground in a 1.5 car garage it's not. I had to lift the rear up enough to maneuver the rear section so I could actually mate it to the centre section. The clamps on the cylindrical resonator are NO...

I've started assembling the braking system, getting near the end!

Sunday some more of the Kugelfischer injection equipment was reinstalled.

That is the next major step of course, starting! Maybe by the end of May.

Monday we will install the engine. Here are some of the preparatory steps done on the weekend. https://i.ibb.co/Xjvk5Fw/Hood-off.jpg https://i.ibb.co/KhyFbHq/Engine-hoist.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Hhbk2S4/Engine-hoist-1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/2vBWKNt/Engine-hoist-2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/MnNckHL/Engine-hoist...
