Repairs Finally Started
 

Ok, I finally got to work on the V this past weekend.
Problem is, now I have two weekends in a row
that I will not be able to work on her.

First repair,
bilge access covers.
The old owner just had plywood covering the holes.
I had some Home Depot trexlike material leftover
from a set of cellar doors I replaced.
I put them together then routed the edges round,
and painted them with the paint that grips to plastic.

No picture, but I did pull out the on engine trim switch.
had to pry it apart, cleaned the contacts and epoxied back together.
Works like a charm now.

Stayed tuned and as I repair items, I will post before and after picks.

Thanks for all the comps,
more repairs to follow.

Hey Willy,
the engr degree is only helpful for measurements.

I am a natural born tinkerer, one day, my mom came home from work
to find that at the age of 10, I took apart our old B & W TV.
She yelled, I put it back together and it worked better than ever.

My dad worked in construction, so I picked up a lot of
building pointers from him.
I worked with metals, so with all my experience,
the degree is just a piece of paper.

Re: Repairs Finally Started

Not this coming weekend, but the next

items at home in Pa for installation into the V in De.
