Nice one Al
Bet you'll make it into a stunner. Cant wait to see some build pics of this one

It may quite a long term project but I will keep it moving - I've never started something that I can't/don't finish, so it will get there with time. The next 6 months will be quite an exciting time (new baby in June, and a few other changes that I'll reveal over time)....

Bloody hell Alan - I already reckon you are a Legend but if you pull that resto off in your usual fashion a new word will have to be invented to describe you!

What on earth would you do with that roof!

I know Barnys are special but you obviously think this is worth all the effort?

Hmmm... does this mean you are going to start wearing dresses in your resto photos.. am guessing you would be a size 8 - I will still watch but will deny it if anyone asks.

Good Luck.

Replace it! - it comes with a donor front barny roof section and a donor 55 split that I'll cut the rear 2/3 of the roof off and graft it in....like I said....long term!

More like a size 12 - been having a few too many beers lately and not enough surfing unfortunately!

Good luck with the resto! and the baby...

For anyone who doesn't know the history of the barny - this is minutes after it was saved from the scrap metal heap (literally)....


...a scrap metal company picked it up, put it on the truck and squashed it right down the guts with the hydraulic crane arm


I think I said before I like a challenge!

Looks a little better after Mikki had it straightened out a bit:


When I get it home from Sydney I'll post some more pics.
Remember folks......looooooong term project 🙂

oval TOFU ·

That's a FAIR amount of work there Alan. I'm lost for words. That's an amazing effort right there....

jhp1 ·

Ahh its that one didn't realise.
That makes it even more important to save this old girl.
Imagine in years to came when shes all finished and you look back at that pic wow!
Good luck with it all buddy
Cheers
