In Germany, nothing works without forms from the cradle to the grave... Germany has its own DIN standards alongside the ISO standards and a lot of laws This need a big authorities department to manage that all. For that we pay our taxes and fees on anything we need their stamp on our papers...

I just got back from our conversation with the TÜV engineer. It is possible to get road approval for an engine swap with a variety of requirements that were explained to me. There was nothing new for me. This conversation was important but only that the TÜV engineer was included in the...

Respect for anyone who do this job in a smaller shop than our.... Damn is the frame unwieldy Half a day rearranged the workshop for the next step on the cargo-box Finished Heat resistant Paint - picture just after painting, still not dry

After refinishing the drums, we are now at size 13019.5 - a pretty good solution. This also means that we needed 135000 miles for them. They should definitely last another 150000 miles. Even if it is not a Sunday and fair weather vehicle or even just for "airing out", I'm still sure we won't use...

We have our preliminary road approval meeting for the engine swap on March 12. I will of course all other necessary approvals such as larger tires and other rims, changes to the exhaust, a possibly necessary lift for the engine swap, conversion to rear disc brakes, a different steering wheel...

As husbands, we know exactly when never to contradict our wives. This was again such a typical situation. It is funny to remember such situations not because of the facts that led to it, but because we have all experienced them.

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...

Hoping my parts be on a save trip... :unsure:

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...

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...

😞 that was not what i had promised my wife but the only way to finish with peace and quality he will be back Phoenix = bird Truck (which has become a symbol of immortality) that burns itself and rises from the ashes rejuvenated

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...
