    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    When you are no longer so limber in old age ... but your wife does not agree with your work relief: She forced me to build a safe frame for painting otherwise she would follow me to hell to hold against me forever that she was right about work safety. Of course I could not risk that (y) Just...

    Quickly created a sketch so that our trainees in the teaching department can train their skills and I get my spare part for a coffee on the side 😂 Reminds me of my time as an trainee. We restored our boss's Porsche in the early 80ths as a training task in mechanical engineering and...

    So as i am - but if you not longer can purchase original parts, you need choose others. The truck run 135000 Miles, the rotor looking like you can use them as braille... i prefer a new one than turning this We choosed the Centric GCX Elemental Protection Rotors - it can only be better than the...

    Still waiting on GM Germany reply and unforetunately also on spareparts So we go on with the drumbrakes Also if we not sure that they will stay is it necessary to take some care of it.

    Chevrolet has withdrawn from new car sales in Germany... I wouldn't have expected that now. I had contact first Chevrolet USA but for the TÜV info I should contact Chevrolet Germany. There I am called the local Opel / Chevrolet partner as a contact. I have to leave that to my wife, because I...

    A few new facts about our rebuild: From looking at what is defective and renewing it has now become a complete rebuild. And if we are already so far we will also take technical improvements that are not immediately visible and thus of course move away from the pure original. Our goal is an...

    We are now starting to assemble the frame. The frame and all individual parts of the frame are protected with an epoxy primer from the marine construction (thanks to Rutjes for his helpful advice) After assembly, it is prepared for primer and painting "2K Black 383". We replace all nuts and...

    I may have expressed myself incorrectly and hope that i do better now. From a German manufacturer who has this tool in the offer, I expect a delivery capacity or better a note that currently delivery difficulties exist. It is not about the shipping time. My tool supplier was promised 2-3 days...

    A kingdom for a 1.5/16 nut...... In all of Germany neither online nor in the store available. I did not expect to find one in stock, but that there is no assured delivery time is really annoying. Even brands like Gedore and Hazet do not give a delivery promise. Now my local tool supplier is...

    Again proof that on the surface you can't see how deep the rust goes. The rust scars clearly show how strong the wear is ultimately. How good that pretty much everything on the truck is built particularly massive Rubber-Garbage This attachment sat under the radiator which had become...
