Excellent progress Mr Chuck.

These old splittys are very rusty animals in their untouched state.

Great to see you are bringing it back to life and on the Central Coast.

Drove past your area today on the way to Swansea to find it is a very charred area - you seem to have escaped the carnage - well done!

 

Yes they are very rusty animals, theres a lot of work to be done. The guy who sold it too me filmed this video, here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYDS20Jr4aI
We escaped the fire thanks to the RFS. they do a great job

 

GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE DONE TODAY WELDED CARGO INNER SILL AND TACKED WELDED THE ROCKER IN PLACE

That's a very entertaining and clever video. Compliments to the people who organised it.

Thanks for putting this up for all to see.

Good luck with it Chuck.

 

Andy did a great job with the video.

Just went through your built thread glen great work. looks like your not to far off having it finished

I'm doing pretty much all the common repairs, all the lower 6"

 

Good to see the progress is still happening

I often drive past Andrew ( the previous owner ) in his splity on my way home from work

 

Doing the roof repairs at the moment.
Passenger side replaced/repaired gutter, repair roof bow, replaced stiffener and roof repair section installed.





Above the rear hatch the stiffener and patch which the hatch bolts to were rusted out but the roof was pretty good. So I bent the inner side of the gutter down to be able to get in there and replace them with out damaging the roof.



Sorry for crappie phone photod

 

Great work. Hope you can win the race against the rust

 

Im still going chuck

 

Hey Mate - thanks for the pics, I'm doing that roof repair at the moment... Did you have to tack some bar onto the gutter repair piece for strength?

Do you have any more pics of that part you did?

Thanks

John
