Picked up this pile of parts aka Arnie the Haflinger, having had all its rust and paint and anything else cooked off it.
Guess we'll be doing some painting soon.

Just dropped this body off to get acid dipped, everything stripped from it.

Now the oil cooler has sprung a pin hole leak so time to clean up another one and install that.
Also better install the muffler, he's very loud right now.

Took Roger to a little car show this morning and came across this seatbelt manufacturer. Amazing array of colours and they can print whatever you like on a belt, and it's ADR compliant.

This triptych features a cool Volkswagen Beetle 1300 in mid-restauration on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand.

My friend's red Mini Clubman is still at the mini hospital. The rust we spotted in the floor is more extensive than we thought. So that's all being cut out and a whole half floor is getting stitched in.
-
Roger's exhaust manifold is a bit borked. Good thing we picked up a new set of extractors at the VW show in November.
-
Took a few weeks for them to get everything in but today I received a box from Heritage in the UK for my Mk1 Golf. New front and rear windscreen rubbers, chrome insert and clips and tool to insert the chrome.
Now to chase down some new front glass.
-
Just got Erik's birth certificate in the post, from Austria. He was originally beige, came with roof bars for a canopy, the PTO, wipers, such a fancy boy. And it officially confirms his VIN and Engine # both match and is an actual Steyr Puch build, which will help with registration.
-
Now he's a tropical again
-
Painting is all done, spent an hour packing up the bouncy castle. It will come out again for the next project.
Took a while, but we eventually got all the air out of it and rolled it back up and fitted into the bag it came in.
Now to assemble a Haflinger!
-
First photo - two Mars Reds. Golf on left, Haflinger on right.
Second photo - Haffy battery box, tool box and petrol tank
Third photo - Golf bonnet. Picked up at last VW show for $50, will go on my Golf once finished
Fourth photo - nose cone of a Haflinger. Needs a few paint touchups.
Nearly done with red, almost at the clear stage.
-
Well the Aliexpress blow up paint booth is quite a success! It has loops in the roof to thread lights in, eyelets on the outside to tie it down. Just don't run the blowers when it gets over 30C as they get overheated. But then it's getting a bit hot to paint anyway.
Filters clean up well with a vacuum.
Paint's sticking.
-
New Haflinger glove shelf now welded in place.
-
Haflingers have a shelf, not a glovebox. The one for Erik is quite knackered so making new one.
-
Had attempted to take Harry for a spin this morning, but he was flat as a pancake. Some deeper investigation required. Looks like voltage regulator is worn out, but there are electronic ones you can get nowadays, so will order one of those.
For now, have swapped in another one. And now to see if the elderly battery is ok or not, it's taking on 16v to charge, higher than it should.
-
Haflinger engine parts have arrived.
-
Just been to buy a battery for Erik. Haflinger battery box has this tray which slides into the box, so you need to make sure the battery will fit.
Stocked up on some degreaser, we do go through that a lot around here.
-
@serichards I’ve noticed a couple of trends on this front:
1) Official classic car restoration operations, for things like a Jaguar XJS etc.
2) 3D printing.
It’s really all about costs — how much it costs to make and manage inventory for limited run products; and markets — how many want to restore a particular vehicle.
You’re probably more likely to find spares for a Citroën 2CV or a DS than a Citroën C5 or an XM.
-
This is a Haflinger battery box. Unlike Harry, Erik has all his original components. It's a bit rusty so currently undergoing sandblasting to remove some rust before doing some rust repairs. A battery sits on a tray which slides into this box, the cables pass through a hole in the rear. There's also a door, so it's quite sealed up. Unfortunately, the latch is broken, so another thing to repair.
-
Erik is finally back on some wheels, this time some Fiat wheels. Slightly wider than Harry's Haflinger wheels, different tyres. Found these tyres locally.
Some parts still required.
-
Box full of freshly powder coated tinware for a VW Beetle and a Steyr Puch Haflinger has arrived.
-
Nipped to the supermarket to buy a box of the cheapest dishwashing tablets available. When cleaning up old car parts the best start is to get an old dishwasher and chuck parts in there with cheap tablets. Those things will strip paint and take off caked on gunk and oil and grease! Parts come out looking fantastic.
-
Been measuring hubs in Haflingers. Seems Harry got the high speed gear ratio with a top speed of 75kph.
Erik, however, has the lowest, and his top speed is 55kph.
So Harry's the hoon and Erik's the cruiser 😆

Took Frank for a little shopping run further afield and he was fine. So glad his Aliexpress carbie works well! Still need to tweak the jets, got another backfire when we got home. But otherwise he's running nicely and solidly.
Just gotta tweak his door lock, its out of whack. Always something. I should also look at doing the Mk3 Golf wiper motor conversion, he's still got a B1 one and it's quite limp and slow.
-
Darn it. So Frank went to the shops and back no worries, but still backfired when stopped. The exhaust did need some TLC. I think now it's a matter of tweaking his Weber jets a tad.
Oh and that 3D part for his gearshifter turned out not to fit, it's a different shape to the T3 one. Looks like we'll be designing it from scratch.
-
Woo it's Saturday! That means warming up Frank and taking him for a spin to the shops, to see if the exhaust leak is gone. His exhaust got gooped up and a new clamp installed last Sunday. Hopefully that stops the very loud backfiring that startles the bejesus out of people.
-
Ooh it's on Thingiverse! To the 3D printer!
