We wanted to be at this point two weeks ago.... my wife said now we can dance tango again in the workshop, we gained a lot of space back. Especially since we also put the old 6.2 back together in order not to have all individual parts lying around in the workshop. Now it goes on with the...

Rivets and Bolts on the frame and unter the truck will be covered by Underbody and cavety sealing which come as final step. But you are right it will not solve the problem of the in-sight parts. Just looking for door handles ... my wife only find new in chrome by several vendors... Window...

6 Bolts later Another chrome-issue... 😅 Well she can choose now: 1. I take the new freewheel hubcab destroy the chrome and paint them in any colour she want - but not to forget i have to destroy a new part... 2. She search in our shop the old hubcabs which was painted in the past red and...

Someone is being particularly kind to us. Ordered on Monday and delivered from the USA on Thursday. I am speechless 😎- it depends very much on the part and where it is ordered. Well then it goes on with the axles after all also if still two parts on their way. ETA was like all of the order on...

Wow the fedex delivery man must be very stressed - he pushed the button "We were unable to deliver your package".... but found this while i open the door. Since they dont ring anymore as we have in this room a contactless storage, it is always good to control it. if we not had missed to order...

Leaf-Spring-Crime Time 2nd :cool: Finally two steps forward than the first delivery... it pass cologne and is now just 35km far away from me on the Fedex Truck. Hopefully they will not lost it on the last meters to my door 😇 maybe i should sent them a "Follow me" car 🤔 Really fast USA pickup...

Oh yeah i remember the hard discussion before roadapproval as i used just the old Mirrows from the Van Project 2003 as the original wasnt yet paint black And my wife insist to paint the air-horns black but she was right as the chrome was already in bad condition after more than 20 years. She...

Actually, the frame should be back on its wheels during the Easter holidays, but everything never runs smoothly. In the end, parts were missing again that were not on our list but should be renewed. 😅 My wife said with the blinky nuts will she not drive this truck 😇 so if i not paint...

I have a tracking number for the redelivery of the front leafspring. I wonder if it will disappear again :unsure: Then the one would habe a pair together... A rogue thinks evil of it :)

Maybe I should have controlled the truck better after i bought him. Driven more than 100000 Miles but I never checked the axle shaft bolts as there was no need for it .... On the rebuild now find this on the front left side. It must have been noticed in a service before our time because...

If everything runs perfectly by puzzeling the drum brake and then you realize during assembly that you forgot to paint something ... ....this means that today we are off work earlier than planned. We are also waiting for paint to dry on the front axle.... 😂

My wife has the only little black dress she like to wear safe for another two years I'm always glad when I peel out of the car, it's at least two sizes too small for me. We reached our goal, if we got end of year the same Signets on the licence plate of our truck

Have today the car of my wife in service of a volvo shop include the technical test for road safety every 2 years. Beside the test we could do the service ourself but to put the half car out of plastic parts before i reach the service points is annoying. I prefer to pay somebody to do that job 😂...

My employer ist a big engineering company. We have it also in hydraulic version, but it is not so handy like the battery powered. I needed it only for the kingpin all other torques can be done with my own tools.

Looks very good When you build for yourself, you approach things very differently, especially in the details. We always come up with new ideas during the rebuild, and as a result we also implement them differently.

Kingpin Replacement can be easy with the right tool. I am in the lucky situation that my employer borrow me tools if i need them. 720 Nm no problem it was really time to replace... We couldnt finished job as a friend called us. He was stranded at the train station in Osnabrück 85...

Fedex had searched everywhere and can't find our leafspring aua That mean it must be sent twice from the vendor. In the worst case we wait again 10 weeks or longer Complaining doesn't help, so let's get on with the project.
