Cal Fastback Project

[kev d]

This is my other baby...shared between me & Russell!
Its currently completely stripped & halfway through having thr rh heater channel replaced, progress has been a bit slower than hoped due to life getting in the way!
Also took about a year to collect all the bits needed!

[kev d]

One of my all time favorite vw`s. Was hoping to have it at bug in but thats looking shakey..

[Fastbrit]

And I'm waiting to be flown from Newquay up to Aberdeen to oversee the project... Slackers.

Just because you do something quickly doesnt mean you`ve done it properly,
or so my wife says..

[Russell]

Kev

Looks like Uncle Keith is getting fed up too, get your a$£E in Ghia and get it sorted, tell ur boss to cut you some slack.................

Mines a bacon + egg plus brown sauce.

[kev d]

Thought it was time to prove I`ve not forgotten where the garage is...
Hopefully the heater channel will be completed & I`ll have made a start on fitting the new front end his week, then it`s off for chemical stripping before finishing the welding & beginning a marathon prepping session..

[kev d]

More progress today..

Have it looking like a lifeboat again in no time, eh Ivan?

[Russell]

Kev

Good progress, chassis will be in safe hands next week, trust me.

Keith, see the sign behind the rear seat, did you steal this ?

[Fastbrit]

Keith, see the sign behind the rear seat, did you steal this ?

No idea what that's about! When I had did the car originally, that was a piece of plain aluminium sheet!

[Russell]

Keith do you have any other build up photos other than the ones that appeared in CC, Please ?

[Russell]

Im not guessing i just wondered

[kev d]

And as it looks now...
L/H sill is fitted & front end is nearly trimmed down for the new 1/4 panels - couple of days work and it should be finished from the B-posts forward

What the F&&&&&&&&& have you done to MY car?? Remember Culloden.....? 

[Russell]

Keith

Not us, what has time and lack of interest done to your car, we are now the doctors at work.... Yes Kevin does like a repair or two but nothing but the best for the old lady i can assure you.

I reckon you should come to aberdeen and get involved with the build up pics we can see how time has treated you since you appeared in CC with the car ! I must dig these out and add to this post...... I remember seeing you getting an award at some cruise night..... wow the hair, the flares, the shirt bet your glad times have moved on mate....

[Fastbrit]

OK, OK, so how much do you want NOT to publish the pics? 

[kev d]
