Boyz in da garage

Beware of the boys in green...soon we will unleash the power of vintage speed!
Capisch? =)

Störk temp gauge for the express kit :-)

Happy easter from Sechs volt

Sechs volt spirit

Sechs volt spotted this car last summer in Sweeden. Not very shiny, but its got the right spirit and thats why we like it:-)

Oil cooler

I've allways loved working with copper lines. After finishing the the Express fuel lines, there was still some copper left. Why not make some fun out of it? Different coolers was availiable in the fifthies. TDE and Oettinger both made their type. This is designed and made by Sechs volt :-)

Paradise road

These guys are dreaming of cruising on Paradis road again

Dirty Knechten

Workshop

Will this fit?

It is still winter, but the sun are melting the white stuff again. The sun runs on 6 volt these days...

Hessich countdown!

Wednesday was the time for a 6V gathering. The entire 6V crew finally found time to meet!
Knechten, finally done building house for his family, showed everybody that he hasn't forgot how to take it in, and how to take it out.....dismantling a '57 firepump, removing the 1750 cc "Kvikk service" engine from the switter, in with the '57 engine - and finally - a quick start...all in one evening!

And for Oval57s split, things are starting to get somewhere....the captain will soon start to march once again =)

36hp engine for the express kit - Hessich HERE WE COME!

This bolt-on tuned 36hp engine arrived yesterday. Its an industrial engine only used ten hours since 1958. A very skilled motorguy here in Norway just did a valve- and fly cut job on it. He also shortened the pushrods, milled the combustion chambers and out-/innlets. I will be using this engine with dual carburetors (Express).

Most important first aid kit for your car...?

When searching through the boxes of parts for the Ghia, this little thing came up. It is a "nød-frontrute" -emergency windshield, made in Trondheim. The text reads: "If You have Your windshield shattered, the emergency windshield can save You from a lot of trouble. Always keep this box in Your car"

Turns out, it is just a piece of transparent plastic and some tape......!

But who knows, maybe it saved somebody's day, shattering the windshield after racing down some dusty contry roads.....

NOS 6 Volt bluecoil

Oval57 swapped some parts last night. What about NOS 6 Volt bulbs, bluecoil and a great temp gauge? He also got some NOS "wrong volt" parts with extremely danger, called 12 Volt. You can see some of it on the picture.

Automessen 2009

Oval57 went for the Automesse 2009 at the norwegian trade fairs. I think it was quite good for me. I got information about wich bolt I must use for my spacers, I got tips and tricks for rubbing up my split and more. "Every" firm dealing with parts and so on was present at the trade fair. I had a really good time. I also got some pictures for you guys.

When will Knechten be back in the garage?

Knechten left the Sechs volt garage before the summer and we have not seen much of him since then. The reason is that he is making a new home for his family. I found this box with Norwegian "lapskaus" that is still edible - waiting for him when he returns to the garage. Knechten come home!

Box of splitparts?

The barn seems to be to smaal for us 4. No one is selling, only collecting more and more. To make a little bit of system we did make 4 boxes for storing parts. But hey; look at Mr. Knechtens box! Whats happening? NO VW-stuff?

Remembering Knechtens Zwitter on the road in 2008 for the first time for 25 years

I had the pleasure for a ride in Knechtens Zwitter this summer! Isn`it cool?

Osnabrück iron in the 6V garage

Recently, Splitboy purchased a '65 Karmann Ghia project, and last night was scheduled for pickup of the car.

The pickup of a non-rolling car in mid-February is no easy task...slippery roads and lots of snow made this journey a challenging one. Great thanks to Splitboys old man for taking the journey and driving the trailer, and to Sr. Solberg for helping out with the tractor when roads and hillsides got slippery...!!

The car will rest in the 6V barn until the '50 is finished. Then it will make a nice summer ride for Splitboys better half =)

22.000 visitors gives you a Sechs volt-babe

Keep on visiting us. We promise to be more active on the Sechs volt garageblog. But working in the garage will always be the most important. It is very soon summer and meeting in Hessich Oldendorf. If you have a blog or a website; please link us up and we link you up as well:)

Say hello to Ferdinand and Woffe!

Our 12 Volt-friend Boblehue (Bubbelhead) and Oval57 have created two dogs from VW-parts that are leftovers from some restaurations. The idea are stolen from some place in cyberspace. After collecting parts, welding them toghether we could finally give our girls this dog. Both dogs have a sign with the dogs name, and the name and phonenumber to the owner. This dogs are crazy about the norwegian dealer Harald A. Møller`s "flushfluid" in original bottles. The new owners seems to be happy:)

Waiting for Hessich - remembering 2005

Two of the members of Sechs volt drove in a real car of course. Splitboy and Oval57 in Splitboys 56 oval. At that time we were named "MysenMafiaen". The 56 cab belongs to Oildropman; mr. Nesmoen. His assistantmecanic Tuverud is the man in the picture. This summer all four members of Sechs volt are going down to H-O with Veedubs. PS. It looks like Splitboy did WASH his car before the trip:)

I simply can't bellieve its been four years since we attended Hessich. It feels like yesterday.
We will for sure be there this year as well. This time we will also take some of our cars with us.
If you haven't been to Hessich Oldendorf, you for sure missed something. Its truely amazing!
