duies resto

you will never believe it all finished nearly just back lights and blead the breaks, started him up sweet, put it in gear something in the gearbox went bang thrush bearing i think, so unless i can blag a lift for tonight i will be missing yet another meet

You aint having much luck there...are you sure its not fixable?

gutted for you dude....but there will be more meets...hope to see you tonight

hope i can get a lift ive missed 3 meets already i think might go and pull the engine and see if i cant get the thrush bearing changed

Carl have you thought about the problem being the clutch cable as you have had the pedal assembly off and apart?

May be worth checking before taking the engine out......

not yet thecrewkid is nice enough to take me to exeter gsf tomorrow to pick up the new clutch and that comes with everything i need so even though i missed the meet tonight atleast i can still get my bug back on the road

Oh man, I bet you were gutted I will catch up with you soon reference the seat belts, I don't think I need the heater bits any more as I have everything missing not just a couple of bits so I probably wont bother.

Let me no dude ive looked under the bonnet of the green one and no pipes the controls are there it is a 1300 1972 model mine is a 1500 1970 and nothing is the same, let me no about the seat belts how much def need them anyway

I don't know what they are worth? How does £20 sound

I think that is about right, ive currently spent up this week after the clutch, i will let you no tomorrow if def want them and when i can sort some cash, is that ok

If you let me know if you want them, I can take them to work and you can sort me the money out later mate, that's not a problem.

If you want bud i'll mend the belt for you

both need replacing as i didnt take them out when i did all the welding so now full of little holes oops cheers for the offer though bud

engine is all back in with new clutch and thrush bearing turns out i was sold the wrong clutch



couple more pics on 4 wheels





all thats left to do now is bleed breaks and get a pair of new 1200 rear lights as mine have had it and sort out why i have no break lights

Well that will explain it then buddy (hydraulic brake light switch)





Bleed the brakes then the brake lights will work

yeah back on the road at last all i need to sort no is the break lights as they still dont work, rich has lent me his electrical tester so i can find the problem

He is now sticker less

Poor duie, he has lost his identity Have you decided on a colour scheme yet or are you just leaving him plain black

hopefully after christmas the crewkid is going to do his magic

Yeah, that looks cool as dude, yet another fine looking bug to add to DBS
