Final Split Screen Restoration Post

Its all a rebuild project now, off to the paint shop asap!!!

 Exterior door hinges seam sealed where they are riveted to the door, also stone chip to lower front valance.

 The interior if full of goodies, ready for colour, most of this has been stone chipped like the fuel tank and interior floor.

 Carpet chucked in to protect all.

 Rear valance patched up for now....a simple metal plate loads of seam sealer on the rear, fiber and filler on front then all round with stone chip.

 Interior is looking good with those cargo doors on...its so Aircraft inside.

Ready to roll...............

Stone Chip All Around

 Lower valance and all lower seams.

 Inner cab floor wheel arches and locker all done.

 Cargo floor inner wheel tubs and over engine cargo area.

 All engine bay plus ceiling. Also coated inner cab door lowers.

 Extra sealing, sound proofing and chip resistance.

 Body is now 90% ready for paint so a little more filler and work tomorrow and by next week end Paint shop!!!

Big end gone, need funds quick! Who wants a Caravelle GL 2.1 Auto?

Finally stuck the silver machine up for sale on eBay :(  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301792338288

With that big CJ engine matched to the auto box, it's had little wear. Ripe for an LPG conversion.

The big end went on the Syncro last week, so it's costing over £1,250 to get a re-manufactured AAZ engine from AW Engineering in Lancs, then £750 to be installed and tested by Lindley Engineering in Basford. Both highly recommended, but you get what you pay for! This means we'll have a decent reliable and simple TD in the syncro for our expeditions... Who fancies a trip up to Scotland this winter to test it out?!?

Oh, and yes, the bullbar is coming off the caravelle and going on the pickup! I'm resisting temptation to nick the square lights, but it would ruin the van!

Beetle Kraft Werk

 Got a decent gauge of pressing, but with modern square cut steering box hole......

 Nose inner really is bad with the front frame mounts really bitten into.....

 Chop the new panel apart and save as much of your classic wagon as possible....Fundamental law.

 So all sold and sealed.

Finally primed the inside of the bonnet area....looking very clean now.
