i'm running gas,just started my 2nd bottle
i can see where your coming from though it does look it
on the spot welds i had it cranked up hot so the weld would sink and i wouldnt have to grind so mutch
just the sound of that grinders startn to shit me,bring on the bog dust🤪
nice work mate, can't wait to see the next bit.
bus has got a brandnew smile
inside was alot rustier than i had anticipated,but thats how it usualy goes
got all the rusty busines cut away and cleand up
outer skin was too short so i extended it 100mm and made up a new section for the bottom of the vee,got bashn away on the anvil and all turned out sweet,makes the job a hell of alot easier when yur not stuck under the car with yor arm jacked at some crazy angle
got all the inside primed up then plug welded the two outer skins together, welded and ground it all up then dressed the lip over
WOW 🤪
Never ceases to amaze me how much work you guys go into repairing early busses.
Beetles are nothing compared to what happens with there.
Amazing work mate.
Well done 👍
Futue te ipsum!!!
bags is that your ghia? in your avatar
show us your gates
thanks biz,i'm yet to tackle a bug
yeah kroozzn thats my ghia,just finished it a few months ago
got the rear corners all done and the battery tray in just gotta make up the section botom of the wheel well
also replacd the wheel well section flows nice now
i'm doing the doors at the moment and am haten it 😬😬😬 doors sure are a bitch 😬😬 one of the cargo doors hinges had been cut of at the body in it's previous life so had to make up some new ones the other had the window treatment so i reskinned the top section,botttom sections are all gone inside and out so must attent to that also😬😬😬
front passenger door was beet up pretty good entire bottom hinge was gone, half of top one gone and what was there was bent so being the impatient bastard i am couldn't wait to sorce some donners so i ended up making some new ones,was alot of trial and error to get shit to line up since wat holds the door was rusted away, but got there in the end
also got the bottom step and floor section done
great job...👍
cant wait to see it finished!
Have u chosen a colour scheme for it?
thanks chief,
colours at the moment (subject to change)will most likely be doveblue and a dark grey in the cargo area,slammed on a set of raders,but the bank balance is getting a little low so i might have to skip on wheels and put some stockys on😢
got all my steel and body work done and is in highbuild primer now,so i'll let it sit for a while before i rub it back,might hit the inside with some colour soon
got the underside done in a spray on rubber based coating,sure is some toxic shit
also got the master cylinder in and new metal brake lines
sorted out my 4 inch narrowd,adjustable beam too,i ended up shortening the original tubes so i could keep the original roller bearing bushes,some steel adjusters from csp and some 10mm lasercut end plates
Looking great mate, well done! Looks like its almost at the same stage as my '61 panel! Are you in Melbourne?
