Black Betty - updated thurs 4th August
Hey here's my new mini project. I bought it as an incomplete project. Just needs an interior and some assembly.
Its a 1960 body - resprayed in black. Its currently sitting on a semi auto pan which has been converted to manual. This will be soon be moving onto
another pan which came with the project - its been blasted, resprayed, forks welded, manualised, front end rebuilt etc. Pics soon when i pick it up
This is the interior, full of boxes of parts which i have to sort.
I will be selling a lot of this stuff soon.

Hehe, last night i attempted a clean up. But the garage still looks as dirty!!!except everything is sorted and i chucked out everything i dont want.
Will be posting a few things for sale soon.
Hopefully should be able to get the good pan in sometime this week/end and swap the body over. There should be a Manualised semi-auto pan up for sale
- its the one its sitting on now.
There's actually three cars now, my dad's Honda prelude (u can sorta see it in one of teh pics on the corner) will be parked outside to make way for
the good pan hehe
Trying to organise and decide on an interior. Right now I am thinking of recovering the seats in VW brick red, to match new TMI doorpanels in brick
red/ cream. Beige cloth headliner, no carpet (weighs too much!) - hope to get the front jap seats recovered in brick red vinyl to match as well.
I'm going to try to make my own rubber floor mats, unless i can source a good used set.

Which one?
The one I was building up has been manualised and dipped and painted. Will be selling that.
The one it is sitting on in the photos will be for sale as soon as i swap the black body onto the good pan. It has been manualised too

rotors in boxes still
Also picked up bundles of other stuff, 36hp generator and fan, old bits and pieces.
Anyway here's some slightly older pics of my Blue '63 - im actually off my P's now, was on them for 3 years

How to remove pesky doors!
Last few weeks i've have gotten a few things done recently. Front end has had shock towers extended, upper arms bent, repainted and ready to rock.
Rear end is setup
Last night was trying to get the doors off so i could drop them off at VVDS to get the hinge pins replaced with new threaded ones for the mirror
(there are no threads in either existing one)
Here's some pics
Damn phillips screws got stuck, after about 44 years they rusted into their threads. at this point i swear i wanted to kill mr phillips! Lots of
whacking and WD40'ing with a big no4 phillips and vice grips worked except on the LHS bottom. All four were stuck! The RHS only 2 were stuck. Damn
phillips heads always round out too easily!
