Let there be light!

After spending quite a bit of time sorting out the mess of cables under the dash we were able to get to a point where we were able to connect the battery and test some of the electrics. To our pleasant surprise nothing caught fire, nothing shorted out and we even have functioning lights!

Wheelie good

Gave the wheels a coat of white while we were at it

Underbelly: Kombi

The underside, suspension and a bit of the engine bay has been given a coat of chassis black to tidy it up a bit. Looks alot better than it used to.

Painted

Colour: Volkswagen Deep Blue Pearl
Manhours: about 70

Engine Komplete

The engine has been rebuilt and reconstructed. All components are stock standard except that electronic ignition has been fitted.....I'm too old to adjust points!

It's taking shape!

Well after 50-odd man hours at the panel beater, the Kombi is getting closer to a lick of paint!
In the end only one panel had to be replaced, all the rust has been removed and zero bog was used to get the old girl back to a near original state.

The engine is also nearing completion, just trying to source a few odds and ends to allow the mechanic to finish it off.

We now have 2 Volkswagens in the family!
