Never stop learning hey.  Its also nice sometimes to stop and look back and see how much you have done, you sort of can forget sometimes the progress you have made, all you see is all that’s in front of you

That’s a great feeling!

Yep, getting close now mate…

Love the plates!!!

A great day today, but spent a lot of it with IJ’s comment about how long jobs can take ringing in my head

But felt great not having to rush like on a weekend.  Feel like I got a lot done.  The “assembly” across the top above the rear hatch is a pretty complicated little bit of kit, especially if yours is non-existent so not really a…[Read more]

It is just crazy how much time some jobs can take.  I had to ake up a simple 900 long nut plate today for the rear hatch hinge, 3 hours later…  Coming along a treat though mate, really looking the goods.

Shit!!!  That’s a big hit, you are so lucky to be alive…

Have just started 3 weeks holidays so hoping to give the project a bit of a kick along. One thing I am really thankful for is that the VW crew in SA seen super helpful.  And having Cooper literally up the road from me, and so free to offer advice or share his knowledge is bloody awesome.  He invited me to his workshop today and we (he, ha ha) m…[Read more]

I love this thing, I mean I liked the Lexcen, but this is just next level again.

Thanks mate, yep, totally.  If you can even the smallest hole, brace yourself…  These were only built to last 10 years, and they were never intended to be anything more than a utility type work vehicle.  It’s a long slog, no doubt, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel

Wow, been a bit out of action for a while, this is coming up mint. Love the satin look.  Is there any car fab skill you don’t possess?

I was close to mentioning “ I’ll just give it a quick blow over, its only a race car “ hahaha

Looking great mate, I agree with Cav, don’t stress buddy, be great to eventually get the links back but that’s no rush.

Killer stuff Ian. Just link the new stuff. I don’t care for old news hahaha

I think he is still beavering away

Cheers mate,  got a couple of weeks holidays coming up soon.  Aiming to give it a decent kick along then.
