Question:1954 oval 6volt or 12volt?

Undis · Post by **Undis** » 2009 May 15 Fri, 10:44

Yes, I try to do everything myself. I like the challenge, but it takes too much time. I planned to have everything finished by April, but still I'm working on it.

The seat springs are tired, but I don't know of a good solution to this. It is an old car, so I'll have to forgive it for this. The seats are not very comfortable, but at least they will look better now.

The car was converted from 6 to 12 volt by previous owners in Sweden. I just finished some items like putting in a resistor to the window wiper, because the wiper motor was still 6v! The starter is still 6v, but that's OK.

Undis, Black Bug is with hidraulic in rear?

No. Not hydraulics, just some fine adjustments of the torsion bars. I like the way it sits now!

Progress is very slow, but I hope soon to be finished. I really have to have everything ready for July event in Latvia.

Now the windows are in and front seats are done, so I can start driving the car, and work on other areas as I go!

1. New rubber for windows
2. One seat done
3-6. Starting with the interior
7-9. Starting to look good!

More to follow!

Thanks, originally this car should have only one pocket on the drivers side, but I thought two pockets are more practical.
