Ian’s Dual Cab

[spl65t]

Ian, would it be fair to say that you resurrect some of the biggest projects (Mulitple) on DSK in all the years ?
I can think of Klaus bringing his projects also from the dead, anyone else who has done numerous scale restos - back ot back to back from the dead ?

Your likely going to be in the 'Hall of Famers ''??


Cheers Linz

I can think of plenty of people who have resurrected their Kombi’s, I just think they only do it once.
I’m just retired and use it as a hobby, gives me something to do everyday and is a bit challenging, hell I don’t know what people do with out a hobby. Grinding and welding I am like a pig in shit

Got both doors swinging today
Next I gotta attach the B Pillars

I'm retired too, hang on, that's retarded

Another couple of weeks before I can wheel mine into the shed and start, got 5 months before I go back to work. I might get as much work done as you do in 5 weeks if I'm lucky

Got the front panel to line up with the doors, turned out to be quite tricky, making sure all the windows still fit, welded up the A-pillar’s and set the dash In place

Outstanding work Ian
Coming together really well
I am a bit concerned with what tail lights u going to running to fill that hole up on the rear corner
Almost looks like the tried tested torana tail lights on Vw could get a run in there

[vanell]

EJ Holden are way better than Torana taillights

[morts]

Whoa, slow down fella - you'll have it finished in a week at this rate...!

[vanell]

Back on the roll over jig, lots of surface rust but actually comes off easily with acid
Might just Por15 the bottom, ain’t going to send it to the sandblaster this time

Man I thought my Mango bus had some issues and it does/did but it's a pleasure to watch you do what you do Wiz.
And thanks for the bits and pieces you have sent me over the last few months, your a true gentleman.
See you at Valla.
