I am using Rust-oleum Oil based enamel.

I have found there is a distributor for Rust-oleum in UK. Thanks.
There are many colours I see and it's better priced than most finishes.
Rob.

Hi Ferdi,
Took a while to find the picture. Here is a copy of a copy of a copy that Tony Marshall took in 1976 when visiting. This is EME 583B before restoration and shown on BBC Top Gear and Youtube.
Rob.



Have put on smaller pictures.

Hey guys. Just a quick update. The brakes are all hooked, just needing bleeding (it rhymes!). Engine starts right up, but I cannot adjust the carb yet, as I do not have the radiator hooked up, so I cannot run it for long. The PO cobbled together a real Rube Goldberg (Heath Robinson) lower radiator hose consisting of 4 rubber hose sections and three metal pipes. I think I have it figured out, but I ran out of hose clamps! With a little luck, I might even take it up and down the driveway this weekend!

Hey gang. I just updated the web site. I was going to post a picture of it here, but no luck. Check it out here:

What do you think?

It's looking smart, not too smart I hope, I like some of the bastard quality, but I think you're doing a good job. Very happy to see such a vehicle being preserved and readied for use.

Re: Remember this ebay schmitt...First Drive!

Hey Gang,

Thought I would post this here first. I still have to update the web page. I still need to finish it out, but with the brakes and the clutch working, it was time for a test driive! Feels a whole lot different than a stock 'schmitt! Zoom! The drive was short as I had a hard time keeping it running (a coil wire fell off) and it was leaking water (fixed), but it ran pretty good!

You can see a picture here...

Later!

Looks good Dan.  How about a moving shot in lieu of a still?   Nice job.  Ian.

Well, it took a while, but I put up a video. Not much of one, but it does show it in action. If there is something in particular you would like to see, please let me know, and I can post another one. Not yet ready for a top speed run!

I did have it for sale, but I have had a change of heart. I will proceed to complete it!

Thanks
Dan

Fantastic! Glad to hear you have decided to persevere, and it looks so much better (!) when moving. I notice you have a Texas plate on the back, whereabouts? I have a business in "Plain Ol' Plano" so spend a bit of time over there.
