It’s been a week. I feel like the next post will be the car in colour finished.

Got stuck into the inside work for the pop-out windows.  A mixture of rust, and hacked up parts.  Managed to make repair pieces out of the donor panel, had to get a little creative with a couple but turning out nice.  Not finished off completely. but that’s enough for one day!

You are smashing it mate, awesome.  I like the boot garnish black, just a tad of contrast.

You had me worried. So dug out the original side window glass. Contacted my Kombi guru to ask frame size. Just went out gaps are perfect. Phew!!

Thaks for th tip will do.  But i know right, kind of think we will be heading west away from Victoria!!

Cheers mate, they are indeed, practice makes perfect, or in my case better

Will look neat and functional.

Test fitting what I can when I can.  Def feel like I am over the hump with main body repair.  Still tons to do but its now starting to look like a bus so its keeping me motivated.  Seriously can’t wait to cruise around Australia in it…

Have you decided on a paint colour/scheme yet?

Lol. Tbh I didn’t realise how big it would be!

Great progress as always mate.

Got another day on it today.  Someone previously had hacked out a piece of the side windows literally with an axe.  Can only think it was maybe cannibalised as a donor for another one at some stage.  Also, rust in the bottom of all the side pop-outs.  Had a relatively good donor cut so started making those repairs.  Also, came across an old pic…[Read more]

Next project?

Not a shame to take a pretty ordinary run of the mill beemer two-door shell and turn it into a cool track car.  It’s not like its an M3.

Amen to that!!

Yeah I no how it works. I’ve got factory ecu so mine is still all hooked up.

Just make sure you do it right or it will bleed boost.

I agree with you on this entire comment

Thanks, mate, you will get there, slow and steady wins the race!!

Cheers mate.  Feeling awesome. Was a bit overwhelmed a couple of weeks back. Now back on track.  I am sure you know that feeling!!

Awesome build mate.

That’s a great weekend, tons of work, but just so nice to sit back at the end and go “fuck yea”.  Big milestone, the cargo floor is in.  A massive job, but it ties it all together.  Still, a long way to go but starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  (I hope I don’t end up ordering more tunnel!!)

^ What he said.

What you doing with the boost actuator?
