Getting the oval rady for the big drive to Valla in month. Priority to get the sounds sorted. So I spent the weekend building this speaker tray.
First one for me and I think it come out OK
Seat up
Dean I'm impressed, but what was the fairy wand for?:sandrine
In the first picture is that your magic wand?
I might have to get you to come over and wave it here a bit as I`m making the same thing for my oval at the moment.😀
Everything 36HP !
Change over king and link spindles
6-12volt semaphores

He he He , I'm stuck for words. As soon as I posted that pic I noticed that magic wand. And thought 'oh look theres my magic wand , been lookin for that everywhere.'
😀
LOL
Your secret has now been revealed!!
Excellent job Dean!! :thumb I'll just be happy to get my damn motor back in!!

Col how's Peewee coming along?🙂
Just sing out if you need a hand Kol. Just ask Jen, I'm a real wiz on electricals. 🙁
Starting to get a bit exited about this big trip now, and a little anxious too. Long way for a 46yo car (with a 42yo driver).
Hey but you forgot to bring the wand!!!😀:P
Hey yeah Jen, the Magic Wand , no worries its all sweet. :sandrine:thumb😀
'The wand, don't forget the wand' :sandrine
Peewee will be all better real soon Col, just needs a little bit of magic to help him along:thumb
Everyones so excited about Valla, was chatting to Ree from Warrnambool this morning. Think we might have another cruiser amongst us😎
So Jen does that "we" mean that you are coming to Valla too???
Na:cry
We, as in other cruises😎
She has a long way to come but have told her to keep an eye on cruise posts etc. and I'm sure we'll chat again. Ree's joining Col's group to Valla
good idea, grey... my superbug has a crescent of 19mm MDF resting between the top of the backseat and the rear window sill with a 10 inch carbon fibre sub and twin panasonic splits and a dalmation. This wonder of carpentry has been known to come loose and slip from its posi if you hit speedbumps or taxis at the wrong speed. might have to make up some braces like yours, unless there's an easier way.
maybe i should get the dalmation to hold it down with his teeth. I call him "doof pup".

Peewee will be ready to travel in time to go to Nambucca, but I won't have time to do much else apart from fitting my new fat steering wheel. 🙂

Cool, a new purchase? Take a pic?
Did air conditioning go in?
i just need this post to have a bunch of me on the front page 😀

Similar to mine in the Orange Smoothieee
Except i made the center section removable so you can get access to storage area. It just lifts up and out
looks sweet love the trim on it too suits the colour code nicely
Lookin good! Aren't we all getting just a wee bit excited then?
I know everything we are doing at the moment is gearing up toward Valla....
Can't wait! :bounce
Sweet lookin deck Dean....
I had a similer setup in the bug...
I still have the Sub box that i sat under it.... 12Inch sony...
:thumb:thumb:thumb
Well its good to get ready for valla...
Kermit seems to be getting there so he will be goin( fingers crossed)

1967 Type3 Fastback "Kermit"
The truth is important. It will set you free
No Jen, the air-conditioning is not in. I was planning to take the roofrack and some of the aircon parts to the sandblasters, but I haven't had any method of getting them there. 🙁
I'm thinking of fitting the air-con as a mock-up anyway, even if it isn't working or restored yet. :thumb
I also have a rear crash bar (thanks fatboy) that needs some restoration, I have some low-back front seats on the way, and I still haven't progressed with my roof console. I can fit the steering wheel though!!! 😀
I also get to pick up the 3-way fridge, gasbox and front adjusters when I get to Valla! 😀😀😀

The old never ending project!!🙂
Dave I was thinking about having the centre section on a hinge with a lock to sercure the back section. But was too much in a hurry to try out the new 6 x 9's.
Always change it later.
Hey Dubnut, Me , Colin (Krusin Kombi), Skewy and Jay plus a few others are leaving on the Wednesday.
Errr... you confused me Dave! Would be good if you could cruise with us, always good to have backup in case of emergency. *touch wood* We are NOT going to have any emergencies though. Just someone to talk to at the meal breaks 😀
Jay
Looking forward to Valla too!

We will be going up on the friday morning, so if you need anything ring me at work, or my MOB number.
Fraz will be with you so all should be OK.
HA! what a laugh. The person who took 16 hours to get to melbourne is going to save you all?
Might be OK in a sense that I can bodge up just about anything to get to the end.
Then again we might be like the Griswalls in Europe once we get to Sydney. There's Big Ben..... Theres Big Ben... oh look Big Ben.
