Even more NOS panels

Yes I did it again!
I simply can´t resist it when NOS sheetmetal turns up for sale.
I will let the picture talk for itself.

Safety by RIFI

Why is it when you've just decided to take a brake from buying accessories some of the things you've wanted the longest turns up?
Well this week end I visited a guy who had been collecting vw´s and parts since the early 70ies, and there were some really nice parts there!

Among others I bought this nice set of Rifi locks for the vent windows.
The idea is to replace the push putton on the vent window handle with this lock.
Then you have to loosen the little screw to use the vent window handle.
I can´t wait to get these installed :-)

Knock it off..........

I just found these 2 knock off´s/spinners, ment to be mounted on the hubcaps on the 5 lug wheels.
I´ve never seen them before therefore I clearly had to own them.I know there is another full set of these here in Denmark, but none of us know story or the manufacturer of them so if anybody knows please let me know.
Now they need a polish and a hole in the hubcaps and then they are ready for some cruising.

Push the button

In the fall I bought a Blaupunkt shortwave adaptor on ebay, a couple of weeks later I found a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio with FM on a swapmeet, so I decided to take the Phillips out of the oval (eventhough I really liked the look of it) and put in the Blaupunkt´s to get some music in the oval again.
It turned out to be quite a challenge to get the short wave adaptor hooked up to radio, but with help from john from Australia (in2vws) and a local electronic enthusiast it was made possible.
Now it´s all mounted in the dash just waiting for a speaker or 2 on the bambus shelf.

GHE day/night mirror

Just before christmas I a got an email from a good friend in the Netherlands.
He knew that I´m an addict for accessories, and he also knew that I was on the hunt for a GHE day/night rearview mirror since I couldn´t use my flip over screen for the original mirror anymore after putting in the mirror clock (It´s some big problems I know :-) )
So I was pretty happy that he had me in mind when he was lucky enough to find one of these and even offer me one of them, I guess I owe him a glass of Jack Daniels and coke at this years Budel.

Swapmeets

It´s been a while since I last posted but I´ve just been bussy doing other things.
Since last I have been at 3 swapmeets, unfortunately there were no major scores but I did manage to find some small parts.
A working Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio that properly will get in the oval with an extra Blaupunkt gadget, a nice Hella lighted semaphore switch, and properly the rarest part a Hella hood handle double foglight.
It´s really an ugly foglight, but I think it´s so ugly that´s it´s a little bit cool :-)
And we need some light to get the true rally feeling for next years cannonball run...........
