Thanks, mate. A lot, because it’s way more than just paint. $26k. Which given the quotes I got I thought was fair. Went to see it today, they have already made great progress

Looking fantastic mate. I remember when the Kombi came back from blasting, it just looks so clean and inspires you to work on it. Fab build dude.

Ok bit of an update.
so as mentioned all the injector plugs on the loom are pulsing, I had one off at a time and they were lighting up while cranking. I had checked spark on all the spark plugs, made sure the leads are all on. They looked a little carboned but not wet. And having replaced the pump with a spare I decided to make a small loom with…[Read more]

Hi mate, thanks. No there is a guy that apparently is a bit of a wizz. Its going to be based on a brand new aftermarket crank case, and pretty much all of it will be modern tech. I did consider building it but even though they are simple, there is apparently a bit of an art to building them well.

Cars have been a bit on the back burner of late. We had a go at leaning up the Calais wheels a little but i am super happy with them. Once I get the Kombi off to paint it will free up some shed space to do a few tidy ups. Do drive a fair bit though, still love it
