'67 Pickup
by vwJim » Tue Jul 06, 2004 3:57 pm
My other bus is a pickup.. The project pickup at the very begining, just after a really rubbish blasting session.
and from the underside...
One day this will get some more done to it, then it'll get the SCAT 2332cc turbo'd lump in the back

Finally started to attack this project again, some two years since the last time...
Took the badly fitted & rusty wheel arch out.
And some rusty panels / old repairs

Similar to the 'Frost' ones.
This one is automatic, so you attach a drill to the frame, and you can safely turn the bus over on your own.
I like it. Haven't made full use of it yet, as been playing with the other bus for too long. But aim to spend the bank holiday working on the underside of the wheel arches from a comfortable angle, and not with all the crap falling on you as you clean the old debris away.

Cheers,
Would like to get that panel welded in this weekend, so then attack the front panel.

Two years and seven months later......
The front panel gets a tickle....
And the new panels might be welded on by the Oylimpics (London 2012)

seeing how long it took to that makes me feel much better about how long it's taken to get to where I am with mine now

We did. Actually two bets.
1. My samba to an MOT or your extension 1-0 to me.
2. my pick up or your BD to an MOT 1-1 (though I contest that, as when the bet was made, you were going to do the welding and prep' yourself... )
If Scholfield's would answer the phone, I could get further on too...
