Radiobracket

Last night I delivered my Combi FM for service. The same guy had a radiobracket for my Radionette TransAuto:) I also got the bracket for Radionette Kurer Auto FM and one for Schaub Lorenz Touring 80 as well. Maybe I can listen to radio in my cars this summer?

My oldspeedproject vol.1

Before Christmas I bougt a set of manifolds and carbs from the US. This parts is from the US-made Dietz. I have some linkage, and are planning to get this functional sometime. I won`t promise you when. The manifolds will need som work inside to make the benzin float better.

Some new parts in da house

I like to collect small parts likt they in the picture. The best buy is the rubberhats for split and the runningboardclip for old splits. I did also buy 25 HP pistonrings. You never now.

Front axle

I had some trouble with the brakes, and now everything is checked out and put togther with some new parts that did fit better. New linkpin and kingpin set is also added for the best drivingpleasure. The new absorbers is also in place with the fantastic original clips.

Old gas-stations and more

My friend Frode have created a very nice blog with a lot of interesting postings. Lately he also bought a nice lowlight Giha. Do you love old gas-stations? I do like them very much, and always stop when I see one, or just an old fuelpump. Frode Algrøy have this nice link on his blog from modernisma . Please check it out and enjoy it. If you want more, you will find it on Frodes blog. His blog is in norwegian but he offer you a nice google-help.

Engine

My 25 HP engine causes me some trouble this days. Just now is it packed down in boxes and I am thinking. The 25 HP will need a machinejob, and until now I have not found anyone in Norway doing the job. Maybe radios are better for me:) Hang on, I will be blogging more soon.

Oval57/Radiohead

I always TRY to hold the focus on 50`s VW and parts. But sometimes I can`t help. I LOVE to collect 50`s Coca Cola-items, and I can`t live without my old cola-cooler f.ex. This Christmas I dreamt of a norwegian-made Radionette Kurèr Combi FM radio with LP-player (singles). I ended up with 3 Combi, and 11 other old radios. FOCUS!!!!

I will restore the one with FM and put the coolest on the shelf, and sell the rest and buy VW-parts for it. Now I only need some more singles from the 50`s.

Light your fire!

I am also collecting different VW-models and so on. This is some of my collection with lighters.

More pics of the engine

Every little part has been washed and brushed well befor delivery. The carbs, fuelpump and distributor is ready, and so also the dynamo and D-reguator.

New year - low voltage

It has been quiet on my blog during Christmas, but I have been into VW-stuff anyway. My 25 HP is delivered for overhaul. I had a turn with dismantling the engine, but now it is in 1000 pices. I will need new cam and crank and more. Thats 25 HP life.

I have also taken some pics during Christmas, enjoy and pleace step back to my blog.

Some new parts

I like this Motometer-holder I bought last week.

Clips for the windscreen

I have bought clips and rubberseal from Splitpartsunlimited in Argentina. Last weekend it was time for mounting it all together. I had one old original alu-list.

I have also collected original lamp-boxes of different types with the correct 6V lamps.

Clips for the absorbers

This is the clips from the cars original frontaxle. They are welded and sandblasted and are going back on the car.

Original tools and roll-up toolbags

For the split

Some leftovers

For the oval

I have searched for the correct tools, or missing tools for my cars. The split come with the most tools. I belive it is correct with hubcap-remover and extra bolt for the wheel? I got of course fanbelt as well.

I know that the oval should have 14 mm wrench, but not 14 mm and 10 mm (8?). Have you seen any original toolbag with just 14 mm and not "2 in 1"?

Oval57 spotted in Denmark

I was in Denmark last weekend and I did swap and shop some VW-parts. I had a great time with Jens and Peter in Silkeborg. They showed me a huge barn full of VW-stuff from 1949 and up to mid-60-cars and a huge collection of parts and options. Thank you guys!
