The hard yakka has finally paid off

[Sly Fox]

Congratulations, you should feel proud of what you've accomplished

[King Willy]

That has come up an absolute treat. A credit to both of you for what you have achieved in the back yard!!

Still a few things to do as previously mentioned but spent the weekend cruising . We racked up about 350kms of trouble free driving , just a couple of tiny issues that need adjusting . Handles and drives great with plenty of power from the slant six . It certainly has come a long way from when we first took possession 3.5 years ago

[rattyrod]

Might give the 41 ute a bit of a tidy up next , but not too much , wouldn’t want to make it shiny then have to clean it all the time .

[Chrisso]

The Val looks sweet mate, now don't go overboard on the 41 please.

Been following along since the start. Looks great, good Team Effort.

[Gojeep]

Very well done. Got to be happy with that.

Looks fantastic, proves you don't need 600 hp and 20 inch wheels to build a beautiful car.

Back in June 2018 (just reading back through your posts as part of my Covid-19 isolation) you mention how you "set up my positive air breathing system with the mask I had bought from motorex". Can you tell me more about that please.

[Mudgy]

Did you keep the hubcaps?

Top job !!


Cheers, Mudgy

Fantastic job boys, good to see another nice Val, always had a soft spot for them after our family
had a couple when I was a kid.

Thanks again everyone for looking in and the positive comments, it is much appreciated. Robtus , everything I put together with things I had in the shed or got locally . Reversible vacuum cleaner came from the good guys Vacs brand from memory . Clear tubing and hose fittings from Bunnings, flour container from pantry and mask from MotorEx. Screwed the hose fitting into the screw lid of container and a tapered vac nozzle through a hole in the bottom of the container, which then fits onto the vac hose . Tubing gets a hose fitting on one end the other to the mask . As long as the vac is blowing air flows into the mask keeping fumes out . Container was used as the easiest way to downsize vac hose to mask tube




Mudgy , my old man always looks in my garage and says “ when are you going to throw some of this shit out “ , to which I reply it is my shit and it doesn’t cost anything to hang it on the wall , and who knows might use it one day
