The plan is to repaint the Revcon including a new trim. The foil doesn´t look good anymore. So my specialist took measurements last year. Foil-Coat Preparations R.

In fall 2020 I ordered a pair of yellow Bosch fog lamps - Made in Sweden. There are already two nasty holes on the top of the front bumper so I thought that they would fit perfectly in. They are NOS from 1979. Every bus was equipped with these yellow lens fog lamps in those days. BMWs and VW beetles too. Bosch Halogen R.

I bought red vintage tractor lamps to replace them. Rear Roof Markers R. Forum.jpg [ 240.11 KiB | Viewed 8801 times ] By the way...I get almost everything from ebay.com or ebay.de. The Revcon was also offered on Ebay. For spare parts I prefer rockauto.com. |

All of the Dexron 2 transmission fluid was gone! My mechanic used a tractor to pull the coach from its parking space. And this faulty line was responsible for the mess. Broken Line R.
