PHAT BUG ·
Looking good Ol, Josh did a great job!
bails ·
looks great, what rims you thinking of? will it be finished for dovw? maybe a few late nights ol..
GASBNR ·
AAAHHHHHHHHH the rims!!!!
Maybe ready for DOVW, I do a few late lighs as it is mark LOL,
you still have the 34
ren ·
just put in an order with ISP west and save yourself the headache Oliver😉 get all those annoying little bits and pieces and be done with it!😵💫
ren ·
PS....I'm sure you've done your research, but according to Samba tech, birch was only offered until mid '64 (pre august), so I wonder if your car is even earlier than expected? damn fine colour, I remember a square that got around the elwood area which was 2 tone birch and dark green. It was at DOVW a few years ago next to Aldo's then-patchwork panelled square.
bails ·
sold the 34 ol, no volkies at the moment. you hanging onto the square?
ren ·
looking forward to seeing what you do next, Bails.
GASBNR ·
The square is another 4pm Clayton special, its a 64 build first reg 65 and dosen't have a push button dash SHAME!
Bails,
I don't know if I'll keep it, I really want to get the KG on the road and drive it daily, and with the 2332cc going it I really want to have some fun.
GASBNR ·
After all josh's work painting the square, Mark has started putting it back together.
The car is having the new TMI headliner put in at the trimmers,
and dash has had some light refurbishment, didn't have any cracks.
The 1600 T/P is being rebuilt and has been painted powered coated and all new clutch etc fitted.
Have had a few moments, ie when the trimmer rang to say the headliner was for a coupe LOL now wasn't funny at the time.
All going to plan should have it back in the barn this weekend,
Now back on to ISPWEST to get some more bits.
Thanks for the words guys, but its HERTZ AND JNR 356 who are putting in the hard yards
