@rbzymek ... Your kitchen looks much brighter and in essence, larger. Nice job - looking for the finished pix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Just tidying up a few items in the 'new' Cayman. Some of the items that I ordered started showing up today ... the car cover, Bosch windshield wipers, a short UHF/VHF radio antenna for when I get a chance to install the HAM radio in it, and a new factory owner's manual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Doing a little more investigation, I ran the VIN and found out it isn't a base model, it's an 'S' with the 3.4L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) @euro11 Here are some later pictures. Currently re-doing the bathrooms. The new is great! Thanks! |

@draganc I have a Langmuir table too, loved the 1st one, still haven't built out the new one, the smaller gen 1 was a ton of fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Love my PRO table! I’m doing custom Harley parts with it and couldn’t imagine doing it with out the table anymore. Once you have the parts design completed, it’s easy sailing, |

not a 914, but it had a hell-hole. 94 aus ford falcon ute.
started during last years horrible worlds longest hard lockdown. got me through three months of misery. now finishing what i started in slightly less restrained circumstances. proof aus cars do rust and rust seriously. but its not that north american vicious salt rust, unless, you live by the coast. truth is all the rust that was in this car was due to a very poor collision repair back in the mists of time. a whole new lhs rear quarter was replaced. no weld through primer was used. no proper primer painting on rear or inner surfaces of replacement quarter. it just blew up from there. learned to chop out sections from panels at wreckers. unpick factory sections. cut out rust damage progressively. hand make complicated curved patch panels for difficult areas around cab windows. stuff i never knew how to do. training for 914/6 GT project i will never do, but nice to dream. i like utes, interior cabin like being in a 914. |

i like utes, interior cabin like being in a 914. Wonkipop, I know you Aussies call them UTEs, but they don't make any more of them here. And when they did, we only had 2. The Ford Ranchero and the Chevy El-Camino. Both are considered very redneck vehicles. Also knows as an automotive Mullet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I think if GM had imported a left hand drive version of the Holden UTE into the US as a new version of the El-Camino it would have sold very well in the more rural parts of the US.

Clay didn't australians invent the mullet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) if we didn't we should have. and a ute can be considered a mullet vehicle in australia, or as its now known - bogan vehicle. but it has to have aftermarket wheels, chrome roll bar/ladder rack, and be lowered and do burnouts to qualify. in stock form, still recognised as respectable farmer/pensioner vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) this one is an ex farmer vehicle. note the dog leash still hanging in the tray. its been generally agreed in the workshop to not remove this leash for fear that the ghost of the kelpie will come back and bite us. the dog was famous for its antics when alive. the owner joined his dog in the big sheep pen in the sky a few years back. the key difference between aussie utes and the fabulous yank tank pickups - (ranchero and el camino) is the local product here was on the station wagon wheelbase - longer than the sedan wheelbase. i think the yank product was on sedan wheelbase and featured long rear overhangs. the aus version does a good job carrying big loads. any local ford or gm product built in australia (and operations of both have now ceased sadly in the last 10 years, leaving a big hole in the aussie automotive hearts) was unfortunately subject to the whims and desires of the big wigs in detroit when it came ot the US market. i do know when GM was here that the local boys developed the current shape camaros. did all the sub frame, suspension design here. you used to see the prototypes running around this city all the time. undisguised too. pretty cool. like the USA, the ute is now officially dead. no-one makes them anymore, a victim of the SUV and the uber twin cab pickup tsunami. mostly J built. why i am fixing this one up. the tray bed is two feet off the ground instead of being 4 feet in the air. this one i am fixing features the venerable ford straight six, that they made for ever and ever, with gradual evolution. also bench seat and column shift auto. what more could you want? the true purpose of the project is for it to be our support vehicle for speed runs out at lake gairdner in south australia. a mentor of mine who has just turned 80 wants to do 200mph on the salt flats before he dies. he has a 911 RSR body shell sitting in the back of the shop that he will build into the assault vehicle. its a car (EDIT not an RSR but only a turbo...rsr still in one piece (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ) he rolled in the targa tasmania back in the 90s. he didn't manage to kill himself. he likes to go fast. known in old targa circles as mad max. i intend to push start him in the falcon ute and then drive down the lake and pick up the pieces. whats left should fit in the tray. he likes to go fast in this as well. but it has not had an outing for a while. bit of a handful he says. locked diff etc. |
