Mikes scratch build

[Micke Lvov]

Nice work also on the heater hose nipples bring oriented to pressurize the feed side of the heater core and to provide a reduced pressure on the output side.

I have not thought about that.
Maybe I should rearrange since I'm planning to have an extra pump for the heater, se attached picture.

Door locks from Skoda.
Underside of door with gas damper.
Rebuilding nostril.
Rebuilding rear part at rear wheels.
Rebuilding front part.

Double nostril hood panel work is very familiar to me as I did not like the shallow depth of the original..

About your hood panel hinges - will they work with your deeper hood? They look like MK2..

Yes they work great.

 

[Randy V]

Okay the only way I coould make mine work with the MK2 hinges would be to have the leading edge of the nostril bottom cut way back. As it is now, I have it configured to come very close to the base of the radiator.. I guess I will just use mine as a lift off.
Are you planning on a tilt front clip?

 

[Micke Lvov]

I will arrange like this.

 

[Randy V]

Okay that makes sense!

Are you going to do a tilt clip too or lift off as the originals?

 

[Micke Lvov]

Tilt with gas damper.

 

[Randy V]

A very good! I made mine a tilt also. Although I still have to remove the hood panel when I tilt it forward.. Not a big deal all in all.

 

[Micke Lvov]

One more

Is that a shift knob at dash height I see in that last picture???

 

[Randy V]

Man you have good eyes Tim!

 

[Micke Lvov]

The shifter (from Toyota) will be lowered before the car is finished.

 

[Micke Lvov]

Preparing front and rear clip

 

[Micke Lvov]

Its not the final color but its nice to have front clip in ONE color.

Micke:
Very nice, I saw that shifter also, and I had thought about that one for my build, if I remember correctly it is a cable type.
Keep posting the photos, you have a very interesting build.
Cheers
