^^^ 8am till 5pm for the last few days ... neighbours are getting compensated due to massive compressor,dust and sanding noise for the last week.
I can safely say this is the final resto I will ever do. no more .........after this is done it's back to spending weekends riding DH.
got a mates buddy coming round to do all my A/C hose set up for a carton......whooo hoooo
now it's on to the easy stuff........ 🤪
what no more welding ? or is aluminium checkerplate filling the big holes 🙂
F*%K welding.........
I had to get paint on, I'm on a timeframe......wait and see........ 👍
ok , bog is heavy though in those amounts 😁

black builders plastic or cling wrap works well I hear. May just finish the rest off with that
😂😂 plus I like the flintstones look in the cab......
😂Forgive me if I'm an idiot, but wouldn't it be better to finish the welding an panels before paint?
I would love to come round and have a look at my old DC one day?
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

sure ..... you wouldn't like it though.
😂Horray!! ...found a rear seat in top shape for the build, I'm excited 🤓
Today was fitting all the body deadener (gotta get it in some tight areas on the doors, took ages) in all about 8 lineal mtrs was added. Finished the crew door lower sill and welded it in, I had to fabricate one at work but forgot to take photos of the bending and folding to form the profiles..🥲
Finished spraying the top half of the doors white and maybe Tues will be painting the lower halves. Al kicked me a early side window glass to use as a template to see if the crew windows are the same size, very , very close so I ordered the fixed window rubbers and will reweld the rubbers to suit. If it looks suss I'll try those popout kits Al has.I like the look of fixed windows in the cewcab so hope it works.
No photos cause it was all pretty boring work today......🙄

What's Valla?.. I doubt it will be ready for that. It's back to uni semester for me so not much time to take off now and work on said vee hickle
EDIT>7200 views what the hell!!!
...I fitted the doors tonite. Yippie.
started on the wiring loom today.......good grief man. Looks daunting when it comes out of the box but the E Z wiring kit seems pretty damn good. Once you get it all unrolled and work one section of the bus at a time its pretty cool cucumbers. I decided to wrap it in plastic flexi coil rather than heat shrink.
Such riveting pictures too, don't you think....🙂
.........so who does machine work on cases in Brisbane? 🙂
floor is in, rust proofed, welded, sikaflexed (2 tubes worth) undercab, finished the rear window. Gave up on power winder again (just too hard to source,find and wait.) Maybe I will regret it maybe not....
wiring is ........... guh...🤓
fu$%in spring plates are shitting me....
cat pissed on my drop cloth.....
opened up a new bottle of sailor jerry....
smashed in the brake hard lines,gear linkage,clutch/brake assembly, clutch cable, accelerator linkage and cable. Then tonite hit up the cab with fatmat and checked out how the sub/air con and amp are going to fit. Petrol tank is cleaned cured and given a fresh coat of green 😂
giddyup........
keep it up! acttion day is nearly here..
you still have time 😉

Yeah, It's all the fun bits now........... got a few suprises once it's close to rego time but I'm saving those
😎
I'll PM dangerous and see who it goes...
Cheers Mr Berry.
had an arvo on the bus
offered up the front beam and put on the steering links.....
it's going to be off the rotisserie soon so if any one needs a rot to suit a bus mine is for sale.......

So, can someone elaborate........... I have green painted torsion bars for the rear and the spring plates (that came with the ute) are to large a diameter to fit the bars. I found another set of spring plates today thinking they would be correct but no, same as first.
Did torsion bars change size (spline #'s) in years or did spring plates change size (splines)?.... I'm about to lose my mind.
thanks in advance peeps....
spring plates in 68-71 are shorter than 72-79 , and torsion bars are diff dia, splines and trailing arms are also diff in lowlights
torsion splines = 48 count
spring plate length = 435mm
spring plates = 52 count
I reckon I have the wrong torsion bars, any one?
ohh and my backyard master cly bleed setup,, f@%kn eh!! 😂
thanks
I might have some, can you measure diameter at each end and in the middle with a vernier caliper?
