Well Kevin is turning out just the way I want him. Soon he will be having an Engine transplant and be upgrading to a 2L. I CANT WAIT. And neither can KEVIN

YA HOOOOO :thumb

Great to see! Sounds like you are making good progress.
I'm in the middle of the same process so best of luck.
Keep us posted.:thumb

Sweet, bring on the pics :thumb:thumb

Salahahdin Great to see all is coming along well. Is Kevin running better now?
Love the pic. Can't wait for more.
You'll have to drop over one day and meet 'Andy'
:thumb

Hey Andy HOW YOU DOIN' :P

Poor me just can't seem to get his 1800 running right. I have narrowed it down to the accelerator pump linkages. The finest adjustment makes a world of difference. So now I am fine tuning those, But apart from that He sure is running alot better since I first aquired Him.

And YEAH I'd love to come over and meet ANDY.

Got loads of Pics coming, The Pastell-White 2-Pac roof the waist job looks so damn good, I love it.

Just waiting for pics to be transfered from camera (not mine) to my comp.

They'll be here in next few days. CANT WAIT

looks sweet. i love seeing the progress pics keep us posted :thumb

Kevin is Back!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya Bloody Hooooooo

And doesn't he look good, Yeah baby, YEAH.

But wait......., There's more. :o

And just for luck, ONE MORE!!!

nice ride mate, kevin is lookin good :thumb

looks very sweet coming along nicely

Boy, I never thought that this Resto work could ever be this enjoyable. I never in my life thought I would enjoy this sort of thing.

I never thought a V.W. of all marques could sink it's claws in get me hooked.

Her is the Passenger door with it's new window seals and bailey channels. Not a spot of rust in it (Phew). :P

I know this image is not that good but I just couldn't wait till morn' to take it.

What a transformation man, you must be stoked! I bet you get up during the night just to make sure she's OK hey man! Lookin Sweet! :thumb
Rob.....

Very nice

really cool
know what you mean dicky wiring doing that as well


Marc

Yes I do get up at night and make sure he is ok. Specially when it rains I go downstairs and make sure he stays dry, haha. :P

Going to Action Day?????

Yeah I wouldn't miss it for the world.

I just hope your not asking if 'Kevin' is going to be there too. 'Cause He ain't. He is still about 4wks away from roadgoing capabilities.

But then again from what the local Police told me all he needs is a Windscreen back in him and he's Roadworthy

Haha, just hope it don't rain!!

nice, coming together very well:thumb
where did you get the portable carport?

I got the portable carport from Supacheap Auto. 6mx3m.

$199 reduced to $149 (so I snapped on up) as they were $149 for a short period only. Then they went back up to $199 then for one day only they were $99.

Here on the Sunshine Coast we get some strong winds and I was worried about rain getting in the sides but so far no rain has made it any higher than the wheel arches.

Hows it commin along, any new pic's.
Rob......

Man I wish I did.

I am flying up to Rocky this weekend for three days, then when I get back. WORK WORK WORK. So I pray that come next weekend I'll get a good go on 'Kevin' And get all his glass back in. And I promise to have pics

Hi Man
You wouldn't believe it. But I just saw another Kombi down the road at Tweed freshly painted the same colours as Kevin!
Rob....

Hey guys (and girls)]

Can I post sound files on here 'cuase I digitally recorded 'Kevin's' Original muffler and then when I put the extractors on I recorded it too.

Just thought I'd be cool so others could get a sample of what Extractors sound like. Well mild ones at least. Might save a few people sleepness nights wondering, (hmmmm, extractors or girlfriend, mmmmmm, extractors or girlfriend) I DID :P

I'd take extractors every time!
I hope my wife dosen't read this!( I love you darling
Rob....

Got it sorted, you have to make your own Web page, derrr :jesus

When I bought 'Kevin' his dash was all cracked and wiring was hanging out everywhere, I mean everywhere. Previous owners had piggybacked onto anything to get power. Well this doesn't look so crash hot now but if I only had the original setup to show as comparison.

Here is his newly rebuild Carbies, RH shown. I also wish I had original setup to compare with (won't be a prob from now on as I bought a Digital camera of my own)

Take note of the shiny newly rebuild Main Throttle body, Had the main butterflies rebushed by a pro. Best $66 I ever invested into those carbies. :thumb

I hope the power lead to the choke is connected since the photo :o
