Actually that color scheme could work....

Just paint the front bonnet lid red and front bumper white!
SmileWavy
:D
Just a little joke.

Seriously....
All your work looks great so far.
Keep it up and you will have a fantastic looking RSR very soon.

Good luck and cheers.

Nice Joke :D you don't like my "Harlequin" project :D:D

thanks for encouragement !

Today the weather is beautiful .......... so it's time for weld

I combined all the necessary parts for my filling of fuel.

Mess tin + cork diameter 104 + reducer 102/76 + reducer 76/50 + cut hydraulic tip which will be welded outside on the bottom of the mess tin to evacuate the water of streaming.

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3...0512080818.jpg

made it should look like that

http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/8...0512080907.jpg

More the joint rubber around the mess tin to make the waterproofness with the hood.

I makes you a tof when finished.

Brilliant! Instead of going to the Leclerc I'll go to castorama next time I'm in France :-)

Yeah Mark, Castorama and animaland for the mess tin for big dog .

yesterday, wehad lent me the good tool ! A kind of stretchable saw-bell to make of the big diameter and I was able to make my hole in the hood Polyester.

http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3...0512193629.jpg

The idea is to let level the cork but not too much to avoid that we come to stole it to me in car park. (It will oblige me to open the hood to provide petrol but it is not a problem!)

Are you saying: 'The idea is to make the gas cap stick out but not so much as to allow it to be stolen in the car park' ?

Keep up the good work!

Tim K

Yes Tim (excuses my poor english ;) )

i want the top of the cap arrived just a little bit up the hood, and so nobody (or with big difficulty) can take it.

Wow loving the DIY work!

This weekend, guard of child, my wife was on travel

Thus I just set one hour, while monsters seing a DVD, to empty all the inside, the seats, the diverse baguettes, the carpets, the belts....

I set up " to see " the new carpet and that is going to be good! It is really great, I am going to take you picture during the mounting.

Otherwise today in the post office my horn 12 volts (base of combi volkswagen) to replace original two horn and their support.

FANTASTIC PROJECT!

Keep up the good work!

Nice..!

Thanks for sharing your project. You are inspiring me to work on my SC.

Dan

Well always no wings, the carrier takes his time.

but today i have received a big piece of my Skai, I am going to be able to finish my doors panel.

today i have receive too, my shift linkage cover,

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5747/plaque1w.jpg

all dimensions are ok so now i have just to drill the 18 holes.

http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5198/plaque2.jpg

To obtain a thing like this but in black

http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...nnline/i01.jpg

Well I finished my plate.

The first one drilling in 2mm after have punched every place


http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/7216/plaque3.jpg

Then final drilling in 10mm (size for the passage of the turn of the screw of the tool allowing to make perfect holes)


http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5917/plaque4j.jpg

Final tapping

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9748/plaque5.jpg

The result with the small tool very practical.

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7379/plaque6.jpg

Then a small blow of mallet blows up for the good finish and it is completed.

next stage before mounting , black paint.

After a moment of "Farniente", i'll be back to continue the works on Froggy.

I always wait for my wings fronts (lost somewhere in Europe by DHL, investigation is launch to know where they are) and without them impossible to the exterior.
Wings rear will be weld the 22 july.

I thus continued the inside.

I keep my panel of "isorel" which I had redone not a long time, i keep the hole of the speaker who for the moment stays in the garage but if later I want to put it back i can.

Thus "test to white" of all the panel

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6...0709164433.jpg

Then preparation of the Skaï for fixation on the panel

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/263...0709165829.jpg

Organized by the "non-weaved" which allows to have a "soft" effect on the panel but without having too much thickness.

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4...0709170228.jpg

We attack then the assembly:

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/250...0709170651.jpg

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/163...0709171344.jpg

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/776...0709172147.jpg

And now an attractive panel :

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6...0709172204.jpg

I take advantage of it to change the joints which were of time !!!!!!
http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/8...0709175717.jpg

And assembly of the panel

http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/8...0710183022.jpg

I had painting the the rear cover for the Gear mechanism

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/786...0710173912.jpg

The inside begins to turn to what I wish

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6...0710173835.jpg

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/137...0710192530.jpg

The next stages:

- Manufacturing of the support of electrical cut switch which will go instead of the ashtray
- Manufacturing of the support stopwatch which will go to the place of the radio set (but removable cause so later i want take some sound), it should look like that:

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2600/chrono1.jpg

- Manufacturing of mats rubber for the front, I found the manufacturer of the rubber in plate he will not have there more than the cut to be made.

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7724/pelrsmat1.jpg

Then small break with my fellow Cyrille and his great toy ................. ah if I was rich!!!!

http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/8...0709195611.jpg

Then i start the cleaning of the over fenders for take it in paint and has to be finish for in 22 ..........

keep up the good work

This is very cool reading, and I like the pics. love following the projects! keep up this great work !

i have just found my switch cut-off but very cheap when we see the price of a real bosch

http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...toffswitch.jpg

the replica

http://www.mecatrouve.com/image-200/...xlLmpwZw%3D%3D

we have just to cut the red and the black cap and after the part we can see is similar.

and good news i have found my chronometers ......

quickly some news pictures , you will love it :)

Impressive work! I like your creative use of everyday materials, very resourceful indeed!

Thus I have the photo of the dashboard of the RSR Martini in competition, I have the manual printer "Dymo" I could finally have this....

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5983/tbrsr.jpg

If somebody can indicate me the word which is under the pull,I believe to read "Zundung" but I miss the end of the word.

On a modern replica we see better but the end is always missing...

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/3659/tbrsrnew.jpg

On the other hand we can notice the switch cut-off Bosch (an outside, an inside)!!!

Otherwise on this 14 July, (holiday in France) I prepared the rear fender for the weld

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1...0714181213.jpg

http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/2...0714181133.jpg

And the evening in front of the TV, the creation of the plate for carrying the stopwatch.

We leave an average plate cut in good dimension

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6...0712213959.jpg

We sand quickly to remove the paint

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/6...0713204010.jpg

Then we rub, we rub, we rub with "belgom" and the various sandpaper.

http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/8...0713205327.jpg

We always finalize in the "belgom" and in the steel wool 0000

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/2...0713214641.jpg

And in the end " we see each other of in !!! "

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1/20110713221809.jpg

now just to wait the stopwatch for the end ........

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5...0713230941.jpg

Good news I finalized my exhaust cap with beautiful springs all identical (I have it even early) for those that was interesting that is worth 5 - 10 cents in rummage sales because originally it is a complex assembly forming a magnificent "plate support " for the wall ......

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/850...0712213935.jpg

Otherwise I am on the plans to make it!!!

http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2125/sanglepb.jpg

your are absolutely right - the word is ZÜNDUNG !

Thanks Tom SmileWavy

I think it says "ZUNDUNG 1" and "ZUNDUNG 2"
(ignition 1 and ignition 2)
