Yes I found some time to work on the vert....
The steeringwheel-hornpushbutton, luggage rails, reserve feultank handle,brake handle and shifter needed to be sanded and painted too.
The steeringwheel was dirty but not cracked. :d
I found a matching colour from LADA!  Afbeelding 996.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 997.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 998.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Some new pics from my yesterday work.
One NOS and one very nice used rear bumper.
The original bumperss where still there but in very bad condition.
The zwitter bumpers are exact the same as the later bumpers -1967
I've sanded the inside, taped them and sprayed some aluminium spray on it.  Afbeelding 1479.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1477.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1480.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1481.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

The zwitter bumperguards are diffrent on the inside (fixation part)
I still have the four original ones and will rechrome them later, as one is ver bad and dented.
Look at the pics of the zwitter fixation part, looks similar to the split ones.  Afbeelding 1546.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1547.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1544.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1545.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

I've cleaned the rear side windows too.
I've polished the aluminium a bit and sandblasted the water channel becouse there was some rust.  Afbeelding 1484.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1485.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1486.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1489.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Those rain channels at the foot of the rear window always get in a bad way Pascal,the small tubes get blocked aswell, mine were equally as bad as yours.
I did a 100% strip of my frames,glass out, new rubbers.
The frames particulary on the front windows spring apart,maybe worse on a split as no quarter lights(vent windows)it's a big headache getting them back together.
I had to use two big wood working clamps and wind them in.All the time the new rubber is moving.Not a job i ever look forward to doing again.
But i really felt like i had achieved something when they were back complete again.

That's the reason I didn't dismantle them becouse I've done it once with my '69 1500 vert....
The rainchannels where not rusted trough but they needed a sandblasting and paint...
I'm sure it won't move anymore and the vert wont see much rain... :d

Dear owner,

If so - I would deeply appreciate if I could get th modern day mixing formula for this color from you? Thank you in forehand - my email: "[email protected]"

Thanks for the nice words! :wink:
Yes this colour is the closest to the original paint.
I can ask to the colourmen in our Glasurit shop if he want to give the mixing formula....
I don't know him very well but I will ask him.
That is no garantee that this will match to the paint they use in the states.
If we restore a car from the states we need to remove all the old paint becouse the material is diffrent and there is a lot of bondo on those cars (most of them) :wink:
