When does the work start for you again in regards to workshop and parts shop?

We've been back since the 2nd of Jan mate - holidays are well and truly over

Dam! Ain't that some shit! Might drop by the parts shop if shana and I go for a swim sometime this week?

Swing by any time Nug - as long as you're not wearing your mankini this time. The locals at Burleigh Heads have never recovered after the last time you came for a 'swim'

thanks for the chat today al, i kept my mankini for beach use only this time....

love having a walk through the shop just to see whats coming and going

Always welcome to drop by Nug, mankini or not.

Finally got the welds dressed on the underside of dad's T34 pan - time to sort the top side now then finish jacking points etc etc.

Well the notch ships out on Thursday so I figured I better drop it down a little lower and put on some decent wheels

Will have some better photos soon. Wheel alignment, final engine tune and then au revoir to the notch

Sheesh, that's amazing.

That looks SOOO much better then the mangles

Posted: **Mon Jan 21, 2013 9:21 pm**

I liked it on the mangles - but I LOVE it on the sprints...

It's fantastic Al - awesome job, customer I'm sure will be over the moon...

Dash looks pretty good, what did you end up doing with it? Move the holes? Or widen the dash?

Posted: **Mon Jan 21, 2013 10:21 pm**

Thanks guys, owner is pretty stoked after a fairly long resto road

Ben, dash was left as is - just had to slot the holes on the handle and then tweaked it as much as we could without cutting and extending. The gaps at the a-pillar ends are still there but some schwarz closed cell foam helped to hide it a little. Remaining stock is on sale as we won't be re-ordering:

DAS, if you are going to make some custom speaker mounts for the front of your Dads Type 34, would you please let me know as I wouldnt mind a set for my Type 34 too. Tar mate

Shall keep it in mind mate

Well our time with Grover the single cab has come to an end after a LOT of work, much of which is under wraps for now. But the underside and the body is solid once again and in primer ready for Phil to work his magic with suspension etc. Rest assured, as much patina was saved as possible

Few photos of the underside:

The pan on the back of the single cab:

Now the pan is finished, I can resume on the body (more work than expected but that is the nature of every project!)

Saw your comment on Ghia body work. I reckon that has been said about every Ghia resto

Another milestone last week was to finally get the KG vert into primer after months and months of metal work and filler/block sanding.
