  1. And 7 months later.... needs wiring, plumbing and skills but getting closer.
  2. The autometer senders for the pressure and temp gauges are buried in my treasure trove of broken dreams.... Unfortunately I am over the seas so cant get them too you !! But if you wanted to call into work, I can forewarn the team and they can get you into my lockup. they will be in one of the boxes marked VW shit...
  3. Out'n'about windscreens. Based in Tauranga but is in AK 5 days a week. Does hotrod, race cars, old stuff. Also has some great stories. Barry Clark is his name. Outnaboutwindscreens@gmail.com He's on the Facebook as well.
  4. Annnnddd driving again. Just need a WOF, and a bit more finangling with the drivers door to get it to shut nicely. Passengers door is like butter, so satisfying. Found a really good glass guy for the windscreen after 10 or so flat no's to doing old curvy stuff...
  5. Gratuitous deck shot. In case you were wondering, there's 110 bolts and nuts in a longbed 62.
  6. And exhaust pics, not my work, using shores nz to do fab work on this thing, mostly because I can stick metal together, but my finish work is crap... Header is all in sch 40, dump pipe from turbo is a 4" drain pipe. Chute mount is on.. I guess thats progress ! I am making a run at this thing and the Chev, mostly because i have a 1 way ticket out of here in late April and wont be back for 6 months. I would love to have this thing and the chev running and all together before I go. Wont make it anywhere near a track, but a hoon down the road is in order. Ive owned the car for 10 years, its overdue...
  7. Righto, ill change my photo situation . Should work now Glass is flat that I need, contact would be great.
  8. Hmmm, I dunno why, I just cleared my cache and they worked OK for me. In other news, polishing glass... The rear window is negligible on the goodness front, pretty sure it has weld splatter or something like that pretty much edge to edge. Just wondering if anyone would have suggestions around this, there are none in the country, and bringing one in is hideously expensive.
  9. As predicted, I took a wee bit of paint off the drivers door because no door stop on, and loose/in a hurry... But truck now has a face again, all the lights are working, rear wiring and pinion seal all sorted, bumpers on front and rear, have started on doors. I got an electric window kit for it, because daily driver, so I can wind the passenger airconditioner down without having a fatal accident. So halfway there with that, waiting for some new window glass to arrive. Getting the side windows and rear tinted to help a bit with the aircon inside. She radiates a ton of heat through the firewall so will attempt to kill a bit of this with some extreme yoga install. Black plate. Rear bumper mount straightened, it was doglegged due to a greatest hit. Note correct welding footwear. WIndow switch uses original door handle, patina intact.
  10. As mentioned in the shed thread, the truck is back form the painters, I let myself down a bit through abject laziness, couldnt be arsed stripping the dash and getting that sprayed, so internal patina will remain for a while longer (probably forever). Unfortunately the panel beater had a small fire whilst underneath it welding the sill on the LHS, caught the seat belt on fire, then the seat, and the headliner, so it will be back to the upholsterers sometime soon. He did offer to pay for it, so no real drama moving forward... So much shiny. Kept the original colour. Bit of reassembly to do. Big wiring tidy up in the tray, I was a bit loose with this on the initial wire up and its a bit of a mess. Pinion seal needs replacing. Trying not to ding it while reassembling, no promises.
  11. Have finally finished the engine/box/wheelie bar mount. Came out OK. Some time later I thought scatter shield, which it needs so will attempt to get that done this week. Then it is onto radiator. Thinking of running rectangular aluminium section under the pan, then transition to round at the hosey connections.

    Gilmer Drive

    My stock LSA runs a 8 rib micro v belt on the supercharger, 600hp and 25000 ks without changing the belt. Don't see the point of Gilmer unless you are running a 6/71 blower etc.
  13. Engine is an easy fit... seats mounted ecu in gear shift working, have a radiator need to work out airflow and water plumbing front to back, or is it back to front... still a big list but chipping away at it.
  14. Replace the shiny billet with the rotary and thats where it will be, no structure at all out there currently.
