    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Chevrolet has withdrawn from new car sales in Germany...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...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    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...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    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...

    My wife can sleep peacefully again, the brake discs are down. One I could still solve with a hammer, the other I have very very very carefully cut down with the flex. Heat from a welding torch as an also common method I wanted to avoid. The universal joints are also gone after 35 years...

    Goal for today: Loosening the old brake discs from the wheel hub My wife say be as carefully you can, a new wheel hub will be expensive.... i am always careful, aren't i ... 😇 the simple usual measures to solve it do not work. Invasive measures are needed now. I may find some damage here that...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Fortunately we have been able to sandblast all parts to have the best possible preparation. The frame is already primed with epoxy primer. All parts of the frame and the underbody will receive an 2K epoxy primer, the 2K Adhesion Primer and the 2K CARC Paint. Additional where necessary Cavity...

    I have edited the title since the error processing is long history In the meantime, we are in the process of rebuilding. How much was actually defective or worn could not be seen from the outside at all. 10 years of Army service, then 8 years of daily driver and 15 years of storage took tribut...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    sounds good.Twice now in over 40 years I have had to change a tire on my own vehicle on the road... far more often I have helped other drivers. Therefore, I have also experienced various original jacks that were simply useless to put it nicely.
