    I've visited Mycha last week and had a quick look at his newest project on Westy. Pretty nice and well done engineered by the 'Wizzard of A's'. Respect Mycha!

    '69 deluxe project Lefty - back on the road again!!

    Last week worked hard to get Lefty ready for MOT. Last check-up on electricity, lubricate the front beam etc. There where some problem with the brakes :( Looked at it with a few people and make sure there's no air in the brake system . . . also double checked the rear brakes. The problem is...

    '69 deluxe project Lefty - back on the road again!!

    Yeah!!! After hours of installing the oil filter / oil cooler / thermostat and hoses, connecting electricity cables (with help from my friends) and tiding it up, I've made a first run with Lefty! The engine sounds really nice and smooth. The smile is still on my face :mrgreen: The light...

    '69 deluxe project Lefty - back on the road again!!

    No new updates on the engine. Next week I've got some time to put it on a ramp and install it and start it up (hopefully). This week started with the left (middle) window. One year ago the louvered window was damaged by the 'crash'. So I've searched for original deluxe windows. Got some new...

    So, the bumpers are back and they looked not bad at all. Okay, there where some dents in them, but that's no problem. I prefer an 'used' look so it suits the body of the bus better. Sanded them and sprayed a first layer of oxid red. Today spraying the next layer . . . From this . . . ...

    The smile is still there :D This week connected a new fuel lines between the tank and the electric fuel pump. Also installed a filter and filter and a safety cut-out relay for the electric fuel pump. No pics ;-) Also started with sanding the bumpers. The rear bumper wasn't very straight but...

    '69 deluxe project Lefty - back on the road again!!

    Yesterday made some nice progress on Lefty! We've decompressed the brakes, so stopping isn't a problem. Also tested the engine . . . it runs! After a long time and a lot of money it's very nice to hear it run smoothly. I can't stop smiling :mrgreen: When the seals and engine mounts are...
