NewtoVW/tinworm - Slow restoration thread.

I'm hoping to fit a watercooled engine

 

Watercooled!!!!!!!!!!!! bah humbug

Just had a look and wish you all the best.
I have found the Late Bay to be fantastic and quicker than Google to come up with help
when i have got stuck
All the best

looks like a nice project buddy, looking forward to seeing your engine conversion, plenty on here have done it so there should be plenty of people offering their ten penneth!

 

Yeah keep us upto date with resto, tbh if i was gonna go water cooled i would go the scooby route, a lot of work iam sure but i can relate to the nice reliable power once its set up n runnin ect.

Me ill stick with my type 4 for now....

 

I'm a long way from fitting an engine.. Just got the bus into it's new home

 

Looks like you got loads room to work on her there

 

Pure luxury.Out of the cold and rain. I've been working on my drive up until now. The workshop floor measures 26x28 feet so loads of room for both projects ;D

 

lucky bugger

 

All the doors, windows sunroof and seats removed now.. Stripping 11 coats of paint slowly

 

Cracking space you have to work in there

did you find out what size wheels those are?

 

Had the day off yesterday so went down the workshop and had a play with my joggler ;D
Started off like this.

Had a joggle.

Cut and shaped the roof cut.


I was quite pleased as I've not done this sort of work before.. Just want to hole punch and weld from the inside and maybe have a go at lead loading from the outside.
