  1. Was a plan but I've moved away from that for now, it will be a lifted 2wd but with a diff lock on the rear, so a "SyncNo"

  2. Awaiting my next delivery of seam sealer, so I decided to get some paint on underneath instead.

    Gravitex will go on to pand then be painted again.

    Also yes more rust needs to be treated. The main thing is getting the new metal covered

    Trying to seal out the weather as much as possible[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  8. Finally got some colour on, I'm going for "good enough to get it on the road" this was from a rattle can!! Pretty pleased with it tbh

    And the portable winch I got to help me get it on and off the ramp on my own works a treat[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  9. Do you have a link to where you got the winch please Matt?
    I need something similar to get mine up the drive and back in the garage.

  11. Put the front end mostly back together (need to glue a glass lens back on one of the lights, seems to have separated during its 4 year hibernation) and seam sealered the outside of the rear panels.

    Will hopefully paint it during the week[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  12. yup - I’m too busy riding around in my working T3 to be fixing up £38 beetles

    good to see progress your end though!
     
  13. First day in 15 of not going to the unit due to youngest parents evening. So I bought a load parts instead, that counts.

    Will be there all day again tomorrow fixing my daily and hopefully do a bit on the Doka too. Trying to get the rad back in but need to make some mounts and do some rust "converting" on the fan shroud

  14. After a week off as I was away in a course I have been doing more

    I have painted in 3 separate stages( all with v&m enamel in a rattle can) 1 side, the back then the other side, also stone chipped behind where the fuel tank goes and then fitted the fuel tank

    Bit more painting on the inside areas and stone chip, then it's brakes, Gearbox and engine!!

    Then I guess some lights and an MOT[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I used this on the underside of my double cab. I brushed it on.

    I wish I'd see this when I was trying to figure out how my 79 Dorka brakes went.
