Lots done for only three hours! Haha I see you left the side moulds, that's when the real "fun" starts. Good work so far!

Plenty of time for Australia Day beers after 12

that really is a great shell. it'll be a good buy for the end owner seeing this build thread. doesn't look like any evidence of bangs at all.

Nice clean base, be keen to see this happening

Cheers fellas, I spent a quick 10am till 12 today so only 2 hours but I got all the door moulds off and and the inside door trims off aswell! I started the door moulds with a 3 inch paint scrapper and I was going no where and nearly booted the car until I started hitting the glue harder with a hammer and it worked a treat! Found some interesting writing on the inside of the door trim, they look like they have never been off the car! I'm thinking next step is to buy the engine out, prep it, paint it, then drop turbo engine in?

On Sunday we spent another 2 hours or so just ripping stuff apart in the engine bay, wasn't too bad but the more we do the more we realise how much work we have to do and are in we too deep lol just gotta disconnect a few more wires, AC and tranny then it's ready to be lifted out!!

lol I can't believe how long you've been around and still can't upload a photo you turkey.

Lol duke, I used to use photo bucket but now I use tapatalk, I got no idea what it's doing, but it's pissing me off

Lol you jive turkey man I can't wait to bring my vl home and tear it to peices lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

getting there. pulling an engine out is easy. pulling it out while trying to remember where everything goes and without cutting or losing anything is much harder.

Yesterday I removed all bay wiring, all AC components and undid engine mount bolts, all that's left is the bloody bottom starter motor bolt and unbolting auto from engine then can lift her out! So much work involved, hats off too beaters/painters/mechanics!

Hats off to you Deano! Top stuff bud. Anymore updates?

Gday Steff, ain't looked at it in over a month! Engine is ready to be lifted out but I got stuff all time at the moment, me mate Ben had ankle operation, I just sold my house, footy just started Saturdays, nine month old kid lol I'm actually asking around now for a backyarder painter to fastrack the progress but having no luck! I don't mind spraying it myself just gotta find the time but I dead set cannot be stuffed rubbing it back, if inly I could just spray it! I'll fix up all the pics in next few days!!

Mad! Had a look a little further into that course. $693. Dont think i can be stuffed doin it. Get some motivation in ya and get a move on bloke! Lol

$693 seems ok! One night a week? How many hours? 10 weeks? Where abouts?

Docklands, 1 night a week for 8weeks i think it was.
