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

Big update, super proud to say that I managed to get this through Regency, and is now back on the road where it belongs!!  Just an amzing machine, so much fun to drive.  So doig bits and pices slowly bringing it back to a standard I am happy with.

Got a heap of bits and pices on order, just recieved an electonic iginition conversion kit to do a…[Read more]

Not much to report on the Senator.  Still running great, needs work on the cold start tune, but still scaring the bejesus out of me

Been super busy on the cars lately, so havent been on here for a while.  Time for some updates.

With the Kombi, after I think about 2,000 hours of cutting, welding, grinding and repeat it has gone off to the painters last Saturday.  We looked for ages, and a guy is setting up not that far form me, and comes highly recomended.  He has estimated ab…[Read more]

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.

Looking great!!

First time been on the forum for a while, great work mate, bet you were happy when she fired up!!

Yea totally VW look, its just rather than use 1960’s parts they are new.

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.

Hi all, been busy on other projects for a while, but back onto the bus this weekend.  Now working through fully finishing the stuff ready to give it to Cooper for a bit of his fettling then hopefully paint.

Got the fuel filler cap in, the screws broke trying to get them out but ended up drilling them out and fitting M4 rivnuts which worked…[Read more]

Sorry all been taking a bit of a break form working on cars.  But should be into again soon.  I like the ease of use in all conditions of injection.

Wow, cool!!!

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

The Dub Shop do a fantastic full kit.  Not cheap but has great reviews, and is well proven.

Yep they sure do, I plan on putting the bits and bobs for each in a zip lock bag and tape them to each window.

Also have found a bit of a VW engine/gearbox builder in Bordertown.  Had a long chat to him, I think we have a plan for the motor.  A nice 2210cc unit based around brand new crank case halves, and I am starting to think of EFI and t…[Read more]

And that, as they say, is a wrap. exactly what you want.

Agree 100%.  My kids have both said “ah now we get it, cool”
