Yea plan is to not go the mirrored look. I want to try and keep that factory machined finish if possible, then clear coat them. Will post up how i go.

Been a while since a post on the wagon. Been driving it quite a bit lately.
So the Kombi is not that far off going for body/paint which will free up some workshop space and time. Plan on a couple of things for the VL at Christmas. The rear hatch really lets it down, its just riddled with rust. So I have scored a very good VH one, and with the…[Read more]

Well, that’s one engine bay finished. Shit of a job stuck inside the bay, welding above you, bla bla. But it’s done. Pics make it look a little rough up inside but in real life it’s fine, especially for an area you literally will never see. Coming to the end of the 3-week slog on it. Super happy with the progress so far.

Sorry IJ, hit the wrong button. No, I didn’t write that clearly. Mine is a 60 with dual taillights. When you buy the replacement panels they only stamp one, then if you have a 60 like mine you have to cut them in. So its original for the bus/year.

I agree, what’s the old saying, Holden makes the best guard vents, Ford does the best bonnets. Like it!!

Couldn’t agree more, maybe the best build in literally years, so awesome.

Looks like Porge was able to fix the forum
Another nice day. Did have a bit of a deja vu moment a couple of days ago when I thought I would do a small repair inside the engine compartment. Then noticed the C channel thingo (does it hold some sort of seal?) was non-existant. Luckily the side panel wasn’t too bad. Then turned my head an…[Read more]

What a score!! Started out trying to find a wrecked rear hatch I could make cuts from to try and fix the hatch I had. Which led me to Ian the Kombi whizz (not our IJ the AWD whizz!!), who had a mint one for my model for a decent price (by kombi standards) Mine was only fitted in 1960/61. Prior they were different, and after went to a much…[Read more]

Thought I would share these, this is my Dad and his mate’s back in the day. 428-322 was Dads home built Austin 7 special. Apparently he modded it copying an early Colin Chapman version. For those in S.A., that’s the foreshore of Victor Harbor going across to granite island.

Well, that’s the rear hatch area done and dusted. Big relief. The last really major bit, tbh was dreading it a bit. Turned out to be complicated but not hard if that makes sense. Put the stretcher to work and started making up my internal channel replacements. very happy with the progress so far. And, of course, the main thing is the custo…[Read more]
