‘64 Splitty

I’m feeling a bit guilty

Removable rear valence and an inspection hatch, it’s like having a buggy

 

Nice. I’d love an old panel van like that.

 

I’ve never found that with 2 pack but it certainly happens with single pack paint.

coach enamel can look quite bad but the next day it looks fine the downside is it takes forever to fully harden.

 

Yes it does, I'm convinced. It hardens chemically but it's still "wet" for a few days or a week.

 

Quite satisfying sometimes this restoration lark!

 

Very nice mate

Looking stunning old bean.
I went to view another project split bus over the weekend

 

Any good?

 

Potentially! It's in the big project territory, but is cheap, RHD, and solid in the areas that count.
Just in talks with the guy as it's currently unregistered and I had a few concerns.

 

Whoever owns the mountain bike would be on his/her 150th warning about bike pedals and brake levers near shiny new paint.

 

I suspect that's Dunc's.

 

Yep my van, my old bike waiting for the guy in the next unit to stump up some cash for it!

 

Still chipping away

 

Why o why did they do away with the ease of access in the Splity for the Bay...?????

 

Because it makes no difference to ease of removal, but mostly to improve structural integrity and crash safety

 

I beg to to differ with a type 4 engine .

Anyway, back to your splity...lovely job

 

Mainly for crash safety as David said . On hard impact the arse end flares outwards and more damage done on the middle section .
But i know what you mean about engine fitting . But if you do it a lot it becomes just as easy .

 

They’re easy peasy lemon sneezy
