Took the DC out of the garage after 6 months of not touching it, washed her up, and parked her under the carport, gave her a quick buff with L-100 washed her again and then polished her with 3M Finesse, washed her again. Will start to do the door rubbers, lights and grill, bleed the brakes, fit the side shafts this week

It's sacrilege to put a Ford in a VW!

But I'm sure it'll go very well.

Well done, it's looking very nice

I bougth it 5 years ago in Pretoria, drove it down to Newcastle, and drove for a month around here, what a plasure to have that power, and then i started to rebuild the DC, and i am still busy with it

As I said it's looking great. What are you planning for the interior?

My DC has a Caravelle interior, but it's seen a bit of service. I want to redo the carpets, panels & hoodlining when I have a chance. A/C is also lying in the garage waiting to be fitted. First priority is the engine upgrade though. I'm also working on a new dash with new VDO gauges, some storage pockets & cup holders. Sometimes you need 2 hands on the steering and then you need place to put the beers:-)
