Time for a change

Many years ago when I put the Motometer rally gauge set in the oval, I thought crome is cool :-)
But lately I´ve wanted to change it back to to the ivory color it had originaly.
Lucky for me Jens said yes to do the painting for me.
Look at the picture and tell me what you think.
There will come pictures of it mounted on the dash some time soon, but there is some other changes going on in the dash department.

NOS panels

Last week end I hit swapmeets in the same day but didn´t stroke gold........
It helped thouhg that I recently made a swap for some nos panels that wasn´t correct for the oval, for the 2 beauties you see on the picture.
A nos right side door correct for zwitter and early oval, and the same goes for the right side quarter panel. That was sure one good deal/day!

NOS parts

A couple of weeks ago a local vw enthusiat lieving only 20km from me listed some parts on our danish vw forum.
He had been lucky enough to buy alot of NOS parts, and what was even better he was willing to sell some of the parts he didn´t need himself.
Needless to say Jens and I was there to pick up some goodies.
It was most mechanicel parts that you will be worn out at some point.
They are all lying on the shelf now ready if the oval should get in trouble.

Fuel lever extension

I was on the hunt for this rare fuel lever extension quite some time, they are not easy to find! And be aware there are reproes out there!
When I got it, it was in a pretty sad shape, but after a trip to the cromers and some polishing I think it´s really nice.
With this one you have to take the normal fuel tap of on the fuel reserve valve, and then mount the extension on the valve.

And really love the "made in germany" and the volkswagen logo on the bracket.

Vintage shows

This past week end my home town Silkeborg hosted a big vintage show for all kind of vintage cars. Me and some friends took part in the fun, and once again it was nice to see and talk to other than just volkswagen people :-)
