sound like a good excuse for a beer at a pub 8) Any people out there in Kombi land who want to have a beer in a week or 2 on The Northern Beaches ? I have heard that the Terry Hills Hotel on Mona vale road has a decent sized car park. One idea ? Another idea the old fav at Collaroy ?
Any one else have a better idea on The Northern Beaches?

For those of you who saw Isurus at the Das Resto Parts open day on the hoist. Yes she is getting a red 9 front end along with a LOT of FUNKEY GREEN PANNELS 8) It was great meeting Gerson and he is helping with some of the more off the wall applications to his pannels for this build 8) Thanks Mate :mrgreen:

Well work has started again for a short time so lots is happening hope you like the pics guys. Lots of bracing in the sub frame and repairs.

She had some bent bits that needed a touch of coxing back into position

With the help from Gerson through Al and work from the team the sub frame is almost back to where it should have been. A much of this frame section will also be boxed and beefed up to handle just a tad more horsepower for this project :wink:

Isurus if finally getting a bit more love & welds at present. Been a bit of a long wait and it will still take a while before she is on the road, but progress is underway (Thanks Al). She is a bit of a unconventional girl, but that is how I like the women in my life :mrgreen: One thing for sure though She will only ever be air cooled :mrgreen:

Ian,

It's almost 3 years between posts, I hope she's worth the wait :shock:

I must admit it's been about that long since I thought the DC would head to Al's so I understand!

Where's the pics!!!!!

That's right Warwick…be careful or Ian will snavel your big turbo motor that's been waiting here patiently for your DC! :)

After doing two previous resto's with us, Ian is entitled to take his time on this one - when funds are available, we give it a nudge! The last three years have been spent collecting all the Klassic Fab panels we need for the SC (which is basically one of everything!), so whilst the resto was on hold, there was some indirect progress (you all know how long it takes Gerson to get orders out!)

Al :mrgreen:

We spent a lot of time this week ensuring the alignment of the entire rear end including main chassis rails was correct - since this is the foundation upon which everything else is built, we had to get it right. Since the ute had been rolled over once or twice in its former life, the right side rear rail had to be pulled back to position by heating the cradle and porta powering it.

So after a fair whack of work (2 guys for 3 days straight), Isurus will go back to its temporary home on the mezzanine awaiting the next round of action!!

Thanks Al please post any pics you like mate :P Can't wait to get going on this project but as Al said it is a slow build. Hope to have another round done on he early new year :mrgreen: This old girl is going to end up being my daily work drive so my plans have been modified a bit along the way. At first I was thinking of using her as a drag way bus but Grover has that covered :lol: She will still be a bit different though so can't wait to upset any traditionalists he he. She will have surfboards, Motorbikes, shark bits (biology work) & dive gear floating around in the back, so just follow the smell at Valla and you will find Isurus :mrgreen:

Warwick Drink some time soon mate !!!
