Yep thats the one. At least you still have it.
Yeah the good old "minister of war and finance" I know what you mean
they always good at the hand brake.
I'm hoping to be at valla 2015 but I'll definitely be there in the old girl
2016.
good luck with the panel and hopefully you get it to valla
2016

I shouldn't complain too much about my missus.
She's put up with a lot on the VW front over the years and she was the one who recently told a friend that Valla 2016 was the goal for the '62 Panel.
That said, I hear this pretty often:
"There's only 2 of us here with licences. How many cars can you drive at once, anyway?"
She says the same sorta thing when I talk about buying more guitars........

Finally got around to the roof which I was dreading but so far hasn't been to bad,
still a lot to ho before I finish it.
Passenger side gutter repair/replaced, new stiffener installed,
Bottom of roof bow support repaired, roof repair section installed










Above the rear hatch the stiffener and the plate which hatch bolt were rusted out. The roof was pretty good so I bent the inner gutter down so I could get in there to replace both pieces







Sorry about shifty phone photos. Missing a few photos as the we're really bad

Great work, Chuck.
No easy task and it looks much better.
Keep us posted!

Thanks for the detailed pics - do you have any further pics on that roof repair you did? What was the stiffener you used?

John

[chuck85]

Don't have any more photo but I'm planning on doing the other side next weekend
so I'll take more photos.
I got the stiffener made up at a local sheet metal place.
They are a little bigger than original but work well.
If you are in the wollongong area I should have
some left.

Few more photos of the other side of the roof

Finally finished welding the roof and getting it nice and straight.
Pretty happy with how it turn out considering the condition roof was in
when I started.

Nice job mate, lots of work in those roofs and gutters eh?!

[kombi1976]

I remember what those gutters were like.
Very thorough.
I think the only one here on DSK who's done as fiddly a job was TwinFin on his double door panel.

[chuck85]

There certainly is a lot of work in them Cam.
I Have been following ur build. The roof was very nice work
by u.

Andy Yep the gutters were pretty bad. Was the main
job I was abit worried about but all turned out ok

[chuck85]

repairs were required behind nose.
