Cheers, thanks anyways.  Just not sure what way I am going to go on mine.  I do like the idea of them being interlocking and modular.  I plan on doing the first two bays, then as time and $$ permit gradually do more.  Carry on with the VK

Safe and wise if you ask me, not doing if you have the ability too would just be plain stupid.

All car manufacturers seem to heading down the path of as long as it lasts until the warranty is finished who cares.

Cool, no probs answering your own question, someone else one day might want to know.  Glad you got it sorted, tbh I had no idea!!

Weather certainly isn’t conducive to shed work!!

VK looks absolutely mint!!

Mind me asking if you are happy with those coloured tiles on your garage floor, looking at options for mine…

Yea nah.  I really don’t want a modified hybrid build as cool as hell it would be!  The positive is I am going to dynamat the whole interior so that will hide some “sins”.  I keep telling myself it’s not a show car.

Sort of starting to learn that if you have a nicely set up workshop and some skills, people tend to pop in for the odd jobs.  Which I do enjoy, but does tend to hamper progress on Walter!!

Got a full day today and maybe half yesterday.  Got the back of both B pillars finished off.  Had to do some funky fab work to make up the repair for the driver’s side pillar.  Also started doing the infill panels that go from the B pillar across behind the cab.  They look easy but (ahem) that they are not!!  Well, not the hardest, but up-down, up-down, cut trim, fit repeat.  Not easy for me when I have literally never seen one in real life as mine rusted away years ago.  But progress is progress. Slow and steady wins the race!!

On a side note, got booked for my first wedding car duties by a young girl at my local deli that turns out loves kombi’s, so that a bit of fun

Nice. Getting close now?  Got your eye on a first event?

Lol, I am impatient to get a decent crack at it.  Life seems to be getting in the way right now…

Another day.  It’s one thing I learnt with the Senator, I think it’s across anyone’s build.  Sometimes you get days where you just nail it, stand back at the end and go wow, that’s progress.  Other days like today is just fiddle, cut, fiddle, cut, weld, grind repeat.  At the end you look and go is that all.  A bit like that today.  A very funky piece I needed to hand-make for the back of the passenger B pillar.  Messing around with the shrinker/stretcher.  But came out well enough I think, not totally finished off, but enough for now.  More social crap tomorrow, hanging to get a few weekends where I can get really stuck into it.  But slow and steady wins the race I guess.  Few pics for posterity.

Really like those bonnet vents.  Its something I toyed with for the Senator.  Looking the biz mate.

For sure, do you think you will weigh it at some stage, or not worth it?  You scale yours don’t you?

I knew that, they pretty much do the same job, there’s a few different ones.

Yea exactly, its is a nice piece of kit.  And it does mean you get to take advantage of all the electronic wizardry in the ECU to display.  Just noticed you might want to keep an eye out for when I get around to designing the gear selector illumination for the early girls, for guys running ratchets.  I have the VN-P just released, and a guy has contacted me about doing a VY.  Then after its the first gens.
