They're quoting the NSW contingent?!

Will it end in a paparazzi disaster like the Nazi salute at Old Bar that year?

DOTVW isnt a bad day. But if I was travelling interstate to just one event, it would be reVolks. You guys should take a look at that one. Great weekend.

Great to see the progress Joe!You better release the full series of videos as a collector set when you have finished.

I admire your dedication and you will get heaps of satisfaction out of meeting your target.

Cheers Mark

yeah, whatcha up to $$, top little watch as always....

joeM · Post by **joeM** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:01 pm

OK I've gone through my recites and crunched some numbers.
The total to date is
$7585

This includes the recent purchase of the brake lines, mounts, engine bits n pieces and Paint

Major bits still to buy are
Cabin floor
both left and right inner outer lower dog legs (I've given up on expecting the outer dog leg from Bus Stop)
Cargo floor
cargo pillars

And then all the rubber sills
Shock absorbers
And some sort of front seat
And I'm sure a host of other bits that will surprise me

Umm somehow I;m not so confident any more

Good going Joe. Im going to have to do the nose on my panel at some stage so its good to see whats behind there.

I was just thinking after watching the last vid that if you are going to cut out the dog legs while you have everything else cut out it would be a good idea to weld a brace from the b pillar to the a pillar just to keep everything in shape. just a thought.

I think Tonz may be able to get something for you if you get stuck here

He lives very close to a park and if the 8 Ball is anything to go off

Joe's deserves better than a park bench..

I'm thinking an outdoor bench swing seat would fit the bill nicely...

Joe , shoot a pm to Elton re the panels..
If he has the stock,you wont do better than the funky green panels..
