Hi to Cape Town
« on: January 19, 2018, 10:23:52 »
Hi Guys,
I was not my intention to high jack Marcus(Jordan) post re replacing a Pagoda soft top fabric, somehow we drifted off to Cape Town.
Although having been ‘restored’ there were so many loose ends, that I decided to trailer it from Cape Town to Mossel Bay(about 300 km) Hence no photos of enjoying the lovely Cape mountain passes, yet.
I have most of it sorted and have done a few 100 km outings but not quite there yet. I have a bad torque converter/fluid drive leak which needs to be sorted, before sorting the kick down setup. Everything works, except the gearbox itself does not kick down. I’ll get there.
Have a great weekend

Chris, thanks for providing an appetizing pictorial overview of your fleet. Hopefully you will get the Pagoda torque converter sorted without to much difficulty.

Looking forward to additional pictures in the future!
