time at december 04 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 4 october 2020 pop out 2 done and dusted finally installed the driver side pop out window which is a bit of a bollox job to do without damaging the outer seal not the best vw design and near impossible to install with the plastic anti rattle pieces they have been left off for now next will be to screw the latches to the c pillar so it s all sealed up i am told the carpet is now in australia for the car so that will be next focus and then i may replace the pop outs both after that with my nos set including the anti rattle pieces if i can not a job i am looking forward to for now they pop out s can remain latched closed and they can t rattle at october 04 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 3 august 2020 1500 s crankcase i have had the original 1964 s crankcase sitting in the roof of the garage for years because it was cracked not the worst news as these early cases are a bit rubbish with the small galleries small hardware and lack of cam bearings but i wondered if it truly was beyond salvage so got it down onto the bench after work today as can be seen i had previously faced the cylinder base areas and installed m8 case savers the 1 2 side was cast on 15th of june 1964 1st shift the 3 4 side was cast on 2nd of september 1964 2nd shift i find it quite odd there was such a difference between casting dates but suppose it s correct as the car was built on the 17th of september 1964 so it s unlikely to be incorrectly stamped i will be grinding out the crack to see how bad it is soon at august 03 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 26 july 2020 tps erratic so about to be replaced while i was messing with the black vw ecu sam working on his lap top and checking thermo fan turn on temperature etc i took a couple of photo s of the inner metal panels quite pleasant in there and apart from the replacement headliner all original items nice huh after calibrating the tps a few times warming the engine up messing with fuel maps and generally being poisoned by fuel vapors we concluded the tps was failing after a while it seems to work until the car is warm and then goes full spastic so armed with this knowledge a pair of new ones 1 plus a spare have been ordered from https www cbperformance com and will be here as soon as postage allows this is hopefully the gremlin i have been chasing for a while now at july 26 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 24 july 2020 black vw s matter thought i would take the black vw out for a spin and to check a few things at july 24 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 2 march 2020 1500 s windscreen installed i got up the other morning thinking i need to make a move on some of the outstanding items for the notchback such as the windscreen which i had previously installed with a seal i wasn t happy with here is the car ready for the screen to go in apart from carpet and the front seats i think were all good here i do need the 2 x correct slotted screws to secure the 45 grey foot plates as i have just seen as you can see the antenna wire is there ready for the radio in the future i have purposely left the blaupunkt radio out at this stage to enable the carpets to be installed with a bit more room all done here note that i have left the steering column in original worn paint condition as a nod to the original owner i think that was a good move regardless of folk thinking i m a moron seat release cables and gubbins all completed all nos too seat release lever attached to the cable seat release cable secured as per original and here it is with the windscreen installed original german marked item the trim is original too from this car and although not 100 perfecto i felt it was ok the seal came from isp west from memory and sits 99 perfecto i believe that over time it may sit slightly better but it s as good as the black car in fit and finish the original wiper arms and nos blades are now fitted up where they belong and look spot on closer every week now at march 02 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 26 february 2020 under dash wiring completed 1500 s i was fitting up the door cards and arm rest to the drivers door tonight and once that was completed photo s soon i stuck my head under the dash to see where i was at there with any outstanding work i then remembered that i was 1 x short grey wire and 1 x 4 wire joiner short in completing the fuse box connections this just happened to be my lucky day though as i had just found a box of miscellaneous vw parts in a box in the garage which contained those 2 x items on the weekend just gone a quick clean of the original wire and joiner and within minutes i had completed the wiring as per the original 1964 1500 s wiring diagram all original fuse box wet blasted cover headlight relay flasher relay hoses wire joiners i have made a couple of small modifications to the car though in order to future proof it 3 x extra wires to the engine bay area for tach oil pressure oil temp if i install any of those these 3 x wires are well hidden inside the left rear fender and up above the fuse box area for now i also added an inline fuse to the black wire heading to the coil from the fuse box as this circuit is not fused from the factory which seems dumb to me as it can fry the loom out if there is a short anywhere between the coil and the fuse box as you can see there are no fuses installed yet this is to happen soon as i test each circuit assuming all is okay there is nothing further to do to the wiring on the car the nos blaupunkt speaker is installed with the wiring sitting there along with the nos hirschmann antenna plug ready for when the car gets a restored radio that is correct for the car i have one but it s 1966 and thus slightly too new for the car the wiring has been a reasonable exercise and not overly difficult to get back to original i 100 avoided cable ties in this car s build along with powder coating of any items zero stainless steel fasteners unless original to the car and zero plastic electrical crimps the extra wires ran to the rear of the car were taped to the new colour correct loom as you would have done back in the day to also avoid cable ties which are just nasty on original cars i also am not a fan of heat shrink on restored cars unless there is a very good reason for it and in this case i have only added a small piece to the horn wires up front in order to seal out moisture and dirt thanks again to mike in the uk for having the correct wiring loom remade for the car i think it s one of the key ingredients to any car to have the wiring loom and electrical system as correct as you can get it on a restored car at february 26 2020 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 29 january 2020 1500 s front finished after months of looking for all the correct pieces i am happy enough with the front compartment to call it done the hose for the breather pipe was a big hold up with it who has this hose available now however unbelievably i had a section of new cloth wrapped hose in the garage that fixed that as shown above i wasn t sure if the sender wire ran over the breather pipe however i moved it below to protect it as that seemed logical as below the washer hose is still missing as i can not locate anything right now but that can be dealt with as i find it later otherwise it s pretty well perfect it s great to see another whole section of the car completed the 2 x outer screw holes to secure the cardboard to the firewall have been left out too for now as it was going to pull on the cardboard more than i was prepared to accept this liner cost way too much to damage the rear compartment is next with the installation of the original side trim panels which requires some contact adhesive spray to make it all work which entails a lot of masking up and prep work sounds like a job for the weekend
