Guess I don't learn........lol.

On the left-hand sliding door: filling and sanding, filling and sanding...hard work. But they say that lots of thin layers are better and stronger than one thick one. So I have done four layers this week, one every day after work. Hopefully tonight's should be the last layer of body-filler and I can sand it to a final finish tomorrow. I'll post before, during and after pics when I'm done.

Helped a friend with his beach buggy. Put in new push-rod tubes and replaced a cylinder head. Re-did the valve gaps on both heads.

Visited Dave's shop and got a few odds and end for Christn.

Fitted Eyelids. Oh so awesome I love the look.

Fitted overkill of speakers and a Stealth Mp3 deck. Painte the rear view mirror arm gloss black.painted the hand straps black to go with the interior. Fitted a tube to the spare tyre. Drove around with out hassles, finally getting confident driving him around without fear of breaking.

Went down to the beach lastnight, turned some heads. I Love it. Hahaaha. Easily kept up with a polo. Was chuffed when I hit 110km true speed lol.

Did some cleaning and polishing on the 67. Fix the hooter...loose connection.

I just bought my 2 new side mirrors (empi)and took some more rust of the passengerdoor mirror

almost ready for 1st primer on door

You get those heaters sorted, you'll be a-for-away. I remember driving up the nico malan pass in the eastern cape one year surrounded by snow, with the heaters on full. I shifted my leg and the jeans that were just next to the heater vent nearly took the skin off the were so hot - maybe something to do with several k's of driving up a steep hill to get the engine heat up. I was always roasty toasty in my dub, and my rebuild will have full functioning heaters no matter what...

Charged the battery and took the Ghia to office today.

Handed Christn's heater boxes and exhaust in to have flanges welded on.
