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?

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

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

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!!

The windows are a bit important, good idea to test them often as you go as the shell can move around a bit with this much structural work going on! LOL around Aus would be nice if they ever let us travel again..

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

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?

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 of it sitting in a paddock before we got it ;)

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.

I’m tipping there’ll be a few more overwhelming days for both is us before we’re done, just part of the game when you take on massive projects, this is why you rarely see the you tube boys do anything like this.. (most are way smarter than us)

I agree with you on this entire comment

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