There’s def that too.
I reckon I am calling it for today, thankfully way cooler. Got the front longitudinal member welded in that goes under the cargo doors. Then had to rebuild the lower part of the C pillar. Shit fiddly job tbh. Not super happy with the transition of how the old and new parts meet, but I think its just the nature of repr…[Read more]

Love this build mate. Seriously unless you have done one you don’t understand the time effort and thought that goes into it. Top work, going to be a weapon. Very thoughtful build.

More progress, one pretty much fully welded floor area. Lots of (for me) difficult welds in weird and hard to get too places. Started out the day with my welds a bit ordinary, but got much better by the end. I think its a cross between technique and settings. But really starting to make some progress. Now I have something solid to build off o…[Read more]

Insanely hot over here, so up at 7 to get an early start, too hot by 1pm. Think I have sorted the side runner end detail, folded and welded it, have left the front end a little long but can trim that back. Practiced a lot of plug welds and got the welding settings good I think. Then went to the bus and very happy with how they all turned ou…[Read more]

Hot again today, but sometimes you have days where you end up with a lot to show for your work like yesterday, then days like today which are a fiddle. But got the welder out, the I Beams are tacked up in place. Also started working on the B pillar, turns out I thought I had bought the assembled lower section of the whole pillar but I only got t…[Read more]

That’s it for today, just too hot out there!! Got the old I beams off, lots of back and forth to hardware store to get set back up again, but really enjoying it. Took some helpful advice from someone on the Kombi forum and concentrated on using the new shift tube as the datum. Just took my time. Nothing is welded up yet, just clamped or temp…[Read more]

Such a shame Holden closed after making arguably their finest in the VF. Very nice, congrats.

I must admit that’s something I haven’t been accused of. Mind you once or twice maybe have been accused of going a bit over the top

BIG day today, Today is BIG!! All the panels from Germany are due to be delivered, woo hoo!! So have moved the MG across to my other shed and cleared out the Senator. And got it up on the lift and gave it a good blow down and inspection. Looks sweet as.
