Cleaning Up the Series I Jaguar XJS Instrument Cluster -- Disassembly -- Part 1







Long Beach Car Swapmeet -- Sunday, August 4, 2019 -- electric chairs -- Part 1

More and more people are using electric chairs at the swap meets.  There was a group of four going by me...  Reminds me of the movie Wall-E 

 

The hood was not open but this Volvo 122S (Amazon) appeared to have a power train transplant.

The El Camino Motorcycle Swap Meet people were advertising and used this BSA Bantam for display...



Porsche Experience Center Cars & Coffee - Saturday, August 3, 2019 -- Part 2

'70s 912 with the VW Type 4 motor (same engine as in my 914).  This one is totally stock and retains all the original Fuel Injection 





One of the most ugly steering wheels that Porsche ever put on a car...






Lots of exposed aluminum.  Really cool...

After initial cleaning








In the process of lightly sanding the wood in preparation for application of danish oil & using steel wool on the alloy center









Finished cleaning the spokes.  Will stain the wood next.

Applied Watco Danish Oil (Cherry finish) to the wood & letting it dry.
Rubbed the oil down/off.  Now it's finished.  This picture is with the right side up (outer side).  These old steering wheels are dished in the reverse direction (hub is higher than the rim).
