Going on with a lot of small issues First clean up the wiring at the steering column. We don't install the cover as we wait on the horn relais. The speaker is now complete with the control lamp. We need to customize a cable with the correct connectors between cb radio and speaker to got it...

We could solve the speakerproblem with a special mount in the area behind the instrument cluster. The speakers are already small with just a standard sound. As smaller the speaker as more lost in soundquality is the result. We could only find 9 cm speakers with half of the power from ours with...

Today we check the new steering wheel. First the original Here is the new one but i guess i will not got roadlicence for it. Reason: aftermarket build and no safety test on the adapter and the wheel itself. I know about that issue before purchase. Nevertheless i will try it. The...

We gave him today his identity back Still a lot of to do, always little things which take a lot of time Our famely members are all non smokers, the ashtray is our trash can, the cigarettelighter is functional and only to complete the appearance. Unfortunately some shadows on the picture...

Use today a free hour to go on with the visors. These are also covered with the same leather. The installation was easy and without problems 🤣 6 screws and no involve of other structures.

I never expected two day to install just the Dashpad and die Doorcovers. Both are customized with Leather which make it a little bit tricky to install. It need longer Screws for the Doorcovers , but finally with a lot of patience we could install. The dashpad was not such a problem, here was it...

Well i think the most N/A 6.2 CUCV with the stock rear axle are abused by speeding. We though also this engine will never broke as he is solid build. It is for the job he was supposed to but not for speeding. Thats why our rebuild drivetrain also include the overdrive 4l80e. The 6.2 with stock...

Still on search for new cowl vent retainers.... seems anywhere sold out. We worked the last week on interieur. It isn't just put it back in like before. Anywhere is a lot of adjustment before it will drop in again. Force in is not a good way. Bezels and clamps are easily to destroy. Same ist...

Finally the transmission oilcooler and lines are installed. We must move to the other side in front of the radiator as there wasnt enough space for the line-connectors We will also add on the transmission to the lines an 45° Adapter that the line will not be bend through the frame and cab...

I doesn't know if there is another solution than these original nozzles. I was able to got them NOS, so the easiest way to exchange the old ones

Got today the 4l80e transmission oilcooler lines Was an andventure to got them here... coming ultemately via Amazon.com from USA 😂 Of course they deliver this time fast as i am handicaped and can't work on it 😅 7ft - 2,1 meter should work to find a comfortable assembling.

Thanks, fortunately it was a small OP. Right hand was fast recovered so i think the left hand will also recover fast. This year will be follow 2 other Hand Ops. All the years i delay this until it must be done. The GMC Truck will be our retirement vehicle. I must confess i start to have...

Our goverment will reply this acting from trump in the same wise and increase import taxes on any US goods here also in the same high. But until now this are just statements from both sites. We will see what happen in the future. But Trump is not guilty for our other economy problems here like...

I have my second hand op today - it will set me back a bit, but after Trump's announcement of imposing 25% taxes on German goods, the restoration will be over anyway. We currently already have a 45% markup on the purchase price in the USA, another 25% increases the price by 70%. We can't bear...

Unfortunately no progress on the chevy First needed our daily Driver complete new Brake disks and pads. Front was done but rear needed still to exchange. It was the first time where i used our new diagnosis tool for the electric park brake. It dont work like expected, Battery had not enough...
