  I need to do this for my 72 bus. I see you welded the top, around the vent, and the pillars. What about the bottom. What welding did you do at the bottom?

  I did the bottom of both a pillars. You can buy those repair panels and they are thicker steel as you would expect. So easier welding ;)

  Hello, in my 1974 model 1303 car, after the engine has warmed up enough, the oil pressure light on the display comes on at low revs, and goes off again at high revs. There is no such error when the engine is cold. Do you think the reason is the oil I use? sensor error? Is the oil pump faulty? Also, which oil do you recommend I use for this car? Greetings from Turkey :)

• 
  @could_try_harderАй бұрын

  If the actual oil pressure is low, then you most likely have a problem with the oil pump or the pickup tube. If the actual oil pressure is good, then you have a faulty oil pressure sensor and it will need to be replaced

  Thats normal for an old roof. The rear window frame always rots out because youstaple the cloth to a plastic frame thats imbedded in the metal frame a little water moisture can collect in that edge and rust will come trugh. NOT true there is a tention cable in the side that together with a spring holds the side straight when the string breaks the tention is gone and wont hold the side in plase and it creaps up. The first roof was called sonneland i believe that was the brand. it was always a cloth and the line in the rroof hes poibnting out is stiching from factory (Witch u can still get) The PVC roof never was factory so this one had already had a roof replacement in the past. I lube the roof once a year liberally BUT NOT WITH WD 40 use a silicone based lube it takes way longer for it to dry out and is better for the plastic bushings.

• 
  @chortlemk13 ай бұрын

  It’s so hard to gauge as to what would be needed until it’s stripped down. I’ve done these cars where they just only need a top. Others there’s rot on the top frame header. So new metal has to be welded in. Rotten rear window frames. Worse is usually where an old top is left in it holds the wet and rusts the frame. Failure to maintain or replace when it needs to be because it’s a big ticket item is a false economy as at least some point the job will need to be done properly and will cost even more , worse when it’s a new owner left with the bill on top of buying the car. It’s worth watching the strip down video if you haven’t already.
