a dummy up to make sure the doors and guards will fit
we plan to look all over for rust and fix what we can before sending to the panel beaters and getting repainted.
unsure whether we have to pull it off the pan, want to avoid it if possible, we would like to try find 2 donor pillars if possible, pretty hard up
here in alice and to find one not rusted out but hopeful.

oops forgot to show the bend/crack in the rear
hey Richard, plans are to get her stripped back as she has a few layers of paint and some of it badly cracking over lots of bog, a real nice paint
job, change of colour, not telling yet.
wide guards and one piece windows, not to much really but enough to make it look like a sweet lil ride, and hopefully with the climate here once we
get rid of the rust hopefully it wont come back

Try Classic Veedub in sydney or Mick Motors in Brisbane for new replacement pilla sections. They really aren't real exspensive at all

one thign Danielle didnt really mention, the crack and bend in the left rear inner guar, that isnt supposed to be bent is it?? probably from having
the rearend pushed forward a bit??
there is also a little distortion in the front of the body where the spare wheel should slide in, we have a 165x15 tyre on a standard rim, and it wont
even go in the stock spare wheel hole.
Danielle also didnt mention, I think there is a tonne of bog hiding all sorts of body issues in this car. once its all repaired properly, it shuld
weigh a little less and go a little better. |
