Hi, i'm Stefano, i'm from Italy, near Rome. First, excuse me for my orrible english! I'll use massively google translator

On december 2012 i bought Gina, I know that there is already a Daf Gina in your area, but for me Gina is a perfect name for a 1975 66

I changed silencer complete, rear brake cylinders, front shock absorbers and steering joints and bushes, put back in place the handbrake lever.

I mounted the rear lights volvo 66, because I have not found the right ones, and I have to fix the plate to the bracket folding, and put it lower because the Italian plate is higher.

Soon I will have to renew the fabric of the seats, and further renew the body (but I have to wait, it will be very expensive).

Gina is walking fast, trouble-free, there is only a noise, a beat repeating, I do not know whether the wheel bearings or belts for drives. could i record the sound and make it feel to you?

Another thing, does not work the defroster: button light turns on, but is not receiving power to the rear window, the relay may be broken? where is the relay? you can still buy it?

Ok, I struggled to write this in English! See you soon!

Stefano

Peace, and respect.

Hello Stefano...

Thanks for taking the time to post this on the Essex Dafs forum...Gina looks a very nice 66...
Without hearing the sound she is making,we could only guess what the beat noise could be,hope you can find the problem soon and sort it

Good luck with her
