that's just crazy talk! lol.

nice work man, those panels look brand new nearly. Looks like you're in the trade? how do you get them to look like that?

fuck that's cool, both them. I've always loved these overpower go karts aswell. Shine on you crazy diamond!

very beefy! no wonder the old wheels don't fit! but will the new ones?

Hey 10speed good to see some progress has been made, shame the wheels don't fit the rear any more. Still drums on the rear? How are the front disc's? do they increase the track also?

fucking killing it man! such nice work, well done.

Yeah mate, keen to ride along in a OS car, so i don't need to yuck up the place with my shitty daily driver. Go from Burger meet carpark?

hello everyone, did a little bit more work. here. and here. Then I patched this thing up. and made it pretty. And then started opening up the front and A pillar. Still heaps to do, Drivers sides not as wasted as the other side, but still needs nearly the same amount of work to get rid of all the rust. cheers!

don't stick primer on it, all the cool kids love that fucked looking paint, it's called patina man.

Got the rest of the bottom plate off the heater channel. some funking looking whiteish decay in there. small batch on the rear of the sill, was all pin holed. Larger patch up front. I think I've got making those little dents down now. And next on the list. this fucking mess!

Yep 11th coz the 10th is Friday? Option B for me by the way, if anyone's keen.

like i said, OSGC's welcome to see my wee shed.

Mr valiant, look at this. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7692146#7692146 G's up, hoes down.

and the gold is super duper sweet!

Stick the mags back on, no self respecting 70's poon tang machine would be seen wearing steel rims!

tricky this paint thing, isn't it? I have the same dilemma also, I originally thought i'd just paint it the same colour, then just get it on the road matt black, and I also love the patina look as well. Each have their pros and cons, if you can afford it(I can't so what ever I do I'll do it my self), and you're going to keep the car, I'd just paint proper, you don't really want to be pulling it apart again in a couple years do ya? Satin black is a bit over done, and faketina, can look naff is it's not done right. That said, that panelvan looks farking bad-ass.

I understand the need to junk the EFI, but what would it take to run it? You would need the loom plus a new cert? A mate has a HZ sedan running the whole commy running gear, OG paint and tridents, it's pretty sweet. But he bought a complete donner car.

good cunts welcome at my shed. this sounds like a great idea.

Hello, another month, another patch. still need to grind the welds down on the inside, just need some new discs for the dremmel, as a normal grinders to big to fit. As well as the channel end, I had to replace the flange where the wheelwell meets the panel under the rear seat. Feels good to have another corner solid.

last time i was at the paint shop, i was talking to the guys about this very thing, POR actually have such a product, might be this stuff. http://www.por15.com/TOP-COAT_p_102.html

looking good man, now don't fucking burn it down.

fuck no. lush as man.

I am in much the same situation bro, thats why I ask. Chur.

So Rust Kill gets the Snoozin/sheepers seal of approval, I thought I read in the paint thread it only good for metal gates etc?? looks sweet man, did you just brush it on?
