After alot of bodywork and sanding it was time for topcoat paint in VW Marsala Red H3D. Looks nice in red! Also got new Deepblack paint on the sun grey faded trim and parts like the front grills, handles, air intakes, wipers etc. I think all the black parts will match the black wheels perfect when its all together. The wheels from Germany will arrive this week and the other new VW parts from Just Kampers will be here tomorrow!

Time to sand the primer and fix small dents and scratches, and its alot of them both. When this is done a new coat of grey primer/filler is needed to get a good even base that needs a light sanding with 800 grit by hand before paint! Alot of work for sure!

   
    
   

All the places that have been sanded and sandblasted down to the bare metal have been painted with yellow 2k epoxy rust primer for protection. After this, all the small dents, scratches and imperfections in surface/metal after sandblasting etc have been filled up and sanded smooth and all the seams have been sealed up with new seamsealer. Then it was covered in yellow epoxyprimer again. When it was all dryed it just needed a light sanding before 3 coats of grey surfaceprimer was added. Now it has to dry a couple of days before it can be sanded down again, but this time more carefully and must be perfect! When this is done its ready for topcoat paint in VW Marsala Red H3H3.
Bumpers and some smaller parts is at the sandblasters at this moment and more new parts from Just Kampers in UK is on its way right now. Time to choose some cool wheels also, stay tuned for more pics and updates!

Maybe these 17″ wheels? 🙂

Lost and forgotten a 1964 Ljungmans Star 97 gaspump. Now saved and standing in the garage. One more to the collection! Have an old gaspump to sell/trade? Let me know! info@maindrive.org   

 

Vid Nobel i Karlstad kunde man förr tanka bĂ„de Koppartrans, Caltex och Shell pĂ„ en och samma “multi-mack” dygnet runt. Idag ligger bara Shell macken kvar hĂ€r. Mittimot ligger idag en Statoil mack ocksĂ„. Det var hit till “multi-macken” min Koppartrans (Ljungmans 102 ACSFN.4) bensinpump levererades ny 27 September 1965. Det förklarar varför den har varit kopplad mot ett fjĂ€rrrĂ€kneverk. Pumpen hittades utanför Arvika vid Mossbergs gamla nerlagda lanthandel 2016.
