Looks awesome! :D

Haha that's funny, keep them coming!

Yes, that's effectively turning the rustingprocess around! Reductor-oxidator chemical process (Redox), cool!

Hey all, Did some work on my 4 yesterday again. A friend of mine helped me during the morning. We installed the cabletree (right word?) and we attached the backlid. My friend inspected the main brake cilinder, which turned out to be usable luckily. Later on I installed the backseat, the rest...

Looks awesome man! Great job.

How's it going by now Maciek? I always followed this thread till it kind of died. So how's the R4 now?

Means you're tougher than I am ;). Good luck with it!

Looks amazing Simon, good work!

That looks superb Malcolm! Great. I know what a pain in the ass spraying can be ;). Great job! I'm following your R5 restoration as well, always a joy and very useful to follow your proceedings! Keep up the good work! Rutger

Hey! Fitting the backwindows was easy. I did it with a piece of thread. I first laid the windows inside their rubbers, then put the piece of thread in the ridge of the rubber (so on the outside). Next I put that whole to the windowsill and made sure that both ends of the piece of thread were...

Yesterday I put the enging back in, fitted the steeringstuff, as well as the radiator, batterystand and some more enginebay-parts. Also fit the airinlet beneath the frontwindow, and some more things. Also fitted the brakeline that runs behind the engine first, that would have been a pain in the...

Done things like that as well, but then on my Zundapp motorbike, only travelling 50 km/h, for instance transporting a dashboard haha... great.

Most work on your R4 is pretty straightforward. What you see is what you get. The gearboxmount is nothing more complicated than what it looks like. Just support the gearbox with a few wooden blocks, unbolt the mount, get a new mount, put it in the same way you got the old one out. You may want...

Haha, they must have had something like that, otherwise you'd never come to something like that ;). Actually, it's got everything to do with cheap production ofcourse. But anyway, 4Latas, this is a very common R4-problem and there's lots of examples of this on this forums! Good point though.

Thanks very much!

Just a short update. I installed the heater, the dashboard, aswell as some other interiorparts. A few pictures.

Hey Angel and Conish4, thanks for the compliments! I plan to take care of those runs after I put the car together totally. A friend of mine's got a polishingmachine which I'm allowed to borrow, as well as some polishing fluid, so that should do the trick. I like the colour too. I was also...

Okay, since the last post a lot of things have changed. The last picture I posted shows the car with the taken care of-parts already in the epoxyprimer and a coat of filler. In the end I decided I wanted the whole car to be sprayed with filler to avoid colour-differences between the parts...

A few pictures for those of you who have been wondering what the hell I've been doing and the ones who might have worried I gave up ;). We've built a sprayingcabin made of see-through plastic draped over wooden planks suspended from the ceiling. I had a few fans blowing the air out through a...

Thanks Azazello for the compliments. Malcolm thanks for the advice. We did use some pins etcetera (a tip of yours) to make sure it went in the right place but some of the holes I had to re-drill because I put new patches of metal in, so one of those isn't in the right place. The two...
