nice work, then down to steves for an irs work out
frenzix ·
good work mate.. so it's yours?
winerot ·
yes its mine but the partner will have it & will be sent to syd
for irs, have a motor out of a 59 might put it in or maybe something
a bit more punch to it but not to change engine bay at all will get
stan pobjoy to recondition the motor should be strong enougth
colour is going to be white on deep blue like t2's split at the moment
might change colour later anyway but have about 5 weeks to decide.
winerot ·
here it is in the yard, start is on monday & steve is the type that will put full effort into one vehicle at a time so the finished deadline is about 6 wks
will keep posting pics on bit by bit progress.
cannot speak highly enough about steve & the work he does on cars but
as the weeks go by you will see what i mean
65busser ·
Look forward to watching this one. It looks like a pretty good base to start with.
All the best with it.
sgetty ·

deon
winerot ·

split on a spit who's got the sauce
steve has a metal press cool makes his own parts out of
zincaneon will never rust & a thick gauge
the underside is in perfect condition the benefits from the country
& not the coast like the first one i bought (still pissed about that)
[Edited on 30-5-2005 by winerot]
winerot ·
from this today
to this today, steve makes his own panels out of zincaleon
[Edited on 30-5-2005 by winerot]
BenettonVW ·
Very nice. Nice floor repair panels.. I'd be up for some of that..
winerot ·
yeh this guy is good he will press his own panels no worries
its zincaneon or zincaleon it wont rust & i dont have to hunt for
replacement panels
i thought that living on the mid nth coast i would be restricted
with getting things done here but up the road is steve hes a
second to none repairer & a few kls away is stan pobjoy who
will recondition the motor & in coffs is graham of midcoast volkswerks
who does all my service & has done so for years.
syd,melb,bris,adelaide hah ive got it all here
"mid north coast has the most" 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
lost ·
that looks like second to none work..well done
winerot ·
a couple of his own cars hes rebuilding but has stopped to
do mine, steve will do 1 car from start to finish for ppl like
me that has never attempted to restore before its great
the cabriolet is original & another in the yard waiting

winerot ·
some more hard stuff done
crewcabconnection ·
what kind of paint is it at - is that primer?
frenzix ·
good work, is he expensive?
Timmy
winerot ·
no not primer two pack which goes on halve a day after
primer so it sticks better to primer & eliminates having to
sand primer for a stronger connection to paint
i wont know total amount till its finnished but thats fine,
im not too worried as hes doing a great job with no short cuts.

yep got back okay the moonbi moonbi hills were a bit slow going up
didnt make dorrigo before dark it was as foggy as from armidale to dorrigo
specially from ebor rain fog & dark a bit hairy then on the pacific h/way
15k's from home cut off by larry perkins semi on its way to qld.
ingall must have been driving decided to pass me with about 30 mtrs
left in the slow lane had to break hard with the load on & doing 100k's.
i mean there was 4 cars behind me & then the truck, none of them passed
only the truck at the last minute, will be ringing & a formal complaint will be
lodged it was close, too close the split moved on the trailer.

rhys
p.s. thank for the mag!
winerot ·
yep im flat out trying to get all the bits & pieces ready.
when the repair work was being done steve was going at an
easy pace then he had a major bit of operation which slowed him
up so i thought this is cool not to hurry, well i have been caught out
the paint work will be finished in less than a week so now im in trouble.
first coat of turkis green went on wednesday 3 coats all up anyway i ordered glass today have a bloke ready to do headlining & steve in sydney to do the irs.
3 coats then clear coat all over, it will be unwise to drive it due to immenant damage scratches stone chips & whatever else but its not a picture its a car.
in the booth first coat
doors are done have a look at the door on its own "sparkling"
pics of finished paint job next week
cheers wally

no twin plug for jann she never goes above the speed
as the claw marks on the bay passenger side dash will
verify that:P anyway she has twin exhaust.
its finished just have to get the seats,bumper bars & glass
now theres a sore point pilkintons glass who make the glass for ford in aust take it from me dont even think about them for glass in your ride.
next van i will spend my money on glass overseas & not in aust after dealing with such a incompetant company.
cheers wally
NIGHT_RIDER ·
wally when is the splitty goin for rego cant wait to see it cruisen round town. i cant wait to go cruisen with ya.
it will be a month or two for me though. cant wait. then there's volks addict with his single cab don't know if he
doin any work to it he has that many project's goin you just don't know which one he is workin on. then you got 58split in coffs
not to sure how far away his is to completion.

Sorry.... had to do it!!
On these SUPERB resto's it is just so ..... surreal?? to see before and after next to each other.
Personal opinion here...... but i reckon the off white on soft green is THE choice for a windowed split
