I´m glad to see this beauty comes in good hands.

Life is coming back to the barn

And yesss, the whorstback is back.

The 740 starts to says goodbye to this World.

No Barntime this summer : (

F. was on vacation the hole summer and I was 

too much busy to spend time to the Barn or my projects.

There was just a little session on the end of July to 

make some TLC to the Hulk.

It sat in some garages the last 10 years, awaiting its reanimation.

After i found the title for it at home I get hungry for it.

It runs after 10 minutes of trying to start but the clutch won´t work.

I disassembled everything to change the clutch and 

unfortunally I broke me two fingers on the left hand 

with a hammer.. what a nice experience..
A friend who was visiting me in the Barn left me just minutes before,
so i drove to the Hospital with the Manta by myselfe,
A very nice experience too.

Since this i wasnt in the Barn and the Smallframe lays 
on the floor with the inside out,

  surrounded of some tools and things.

I guess F. hates me for not cleaning up the Barn 

after i broke my fingers...

Cheers

Barnactivities part II

Today, I was finishing the workbench.

All it needs to be finished it is some wireing 

and two shelfes for both storetrays.

My old Ikea CD storage "Benno"

was getting a new challange too.

Measurements are 240 x 60 x 95

Workshelf is made of  Birchwood

Wheight: ca 85Kg

It was taking 12 hours to build.

At Benno our Barn-HiFi find a new home.

Radio/CD, amplifier , a active 3-way frequency switch

and the power supply for all sit behind the white cover.

Power supply and light switch on the right.

A good Workbench needs his own VIN.
´73 Squareback in that case.. ; )

Barnactivities

F. is going to break the longtime record 

in slaming a Squareback.

2 Weeks and no end in sight.. ; )

My son was doing a complete overhaul of the engine in the meanwhile.

I´ve started to build our workbench.

Naturally not without the help of my son.

Ran out of screws so the workbench enjoys a little break till tomorrow.

Mainframe is done and those two boxes will 

get modified to drawers tomorrow.
