Grotty Otty 868 Posted May 10, 2019 Front and rear Schumacher Green Mini Spike tyres for the TT-02B, a Talon wing and Absima wing washers for the DT-03 as I'd ruined the original at the weekend... Surprising how far a buggy will pirouette after grip rolling at speed! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_ve 1043 Posted May 10, 2019 The twins arrived! Left bear has a very good chassis and plastics. Bodyshell is ok. Right bear has a great and complete bodyshell. Chassis is bad. The extra tire set is very good for its age. Not too dry, no cracks or damage. These will go onto the bear I'm restoring to original. So, overall a great haul for parts and the potential for a 2nd original bear. I still have a used gear set somewhere! And other spares... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggular 4964 Posted May 13, 2019 I can't bake a cake, but I made a pizza doe for the first time in my life today. It was sour. I should've let it rise more... Roses arrived for a neighbor. We are just safekeeping...(that sounds like we've stolen them, but no. She's with her daughter, we are looking after her mail. We called her, she asked us to open it and water them. My wife took photos and sent it to the neighbor. By the time she comes back, most will bloom.) And I got this from Japan!! Probably will go to M05. (RWD M06 should get NSU TT Prinz shell) I want to paint it yellow. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it may be to deflect wind away from the wipers so at speed they work. Seem to think Ive seen something like this somewhere else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was multi purpose - to deflect wind so the wiper stayed on the glass at high speed, but also to deflect stones bearing in mind they had the old tempered glass back then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennyMo 3526 Posted May 14, 2019 Dashing! I admit I then got slightly distracted from my wheel-arch widening to check the dash and bulkhead would fit in front of the gearbox. It does! Jenny x 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
