Bill,

Can't wait to see the completed project. From what I can see so far it will be excellent.

Looks fantastic so far!!

Thanks Guys, up close you can see my average paint job "runs" hehe

Spent some time on it last night
starting to look like a ride-on now..........

Hey Billyboy,
The restoration thus far is looking fabulous!!
Bill, you'll be needing that "easy-out' for the seat studs in no time at this rate,lol
Kindest Regards, Darryl

Started it for the first time today,
Gave it a test run in the back yard (minus cutting deck & seat)
Battery was flat, but started with chord.... 3rd Go....

It was with low revs & cold engine, but seemed very strong
cant wait to finish it off

Hey Billyboy,
Good stuff!! Goin' strong and gonna mow long!! Bill, you're getting to the most rewarding stage of a restoration; when you can actually stand back and see the result of your hard and dedicated labours,and the knowledge that you have completed a project with the end result that the original designer and manufacturer would be very proud of!! Can't wait for you to finish and see the pics!! Rock on Rover!!
Kindest Regards, Darryl

Billy Boy,

It is really coming along and I am sure all the members are watching closely for the final result.

Hey Bruce, can you send me the Part Numbers for the Decals again.....
Cant find them.....?????
Ready to order some... cheers

(quote):By the way Bill, hows ya project coming along? did you manage to get the decals for it and did you get the studs outta the seat?
Kindest Regards, Darryl laugh (quote)

I have placed part of order for Decals today, but needed to download
parts list again to finish it off for Bruce.....
should be done Tonight.....

The bolts, well I've been lazy there... will work on that part on weekend.....

Then i will take more pics....

Bill,
Best of luck with the studs.
Can't wait to see the new pics, It's getting close to "Project soon to Finish!!lol!!
Regards, Darryl

Hey Billy Boy. Neat looking finish. Almost as good looking as my Citrus Red (VW) Beetle i just picked up. Haha.Now you`ve got your work cut out keeping it clean and shiny.Good on you. Cheers GgordonN

What!!!!
No one said anything about cleaning !!!!

Hehe.......

When this project is finished,
I,ll be taking it to my block of land in "Indented Head" (Portarlington)
to maintain the block up their.

Lucky for me, my uncle has his Holiday house just around the corner for storage..... Hehe.
he has a corner block with lots of grass as well for me to cut....
Therefore Happy Ending

Update on EasyOut Bolts.........

I got a kit with 5 sizes from Bunnings and did as said,
centre punched in the middle of the sheared bolt,
drilled out a small hole inside the sheared bolt,
then a bigger hole to suit the EasyOut Bolt to be screwed in ant-clock wise.....
& "Snap"





Now for "Plan B"



I welded a bolts under the seat instead ......

I couldn't help my self.... I just had too...


What do you think ? :bluesmileyb:

When does the race start? hehe

What does one say!! Fanbloodytastic!! Billy, you've brought her back from the edge of oblivion to, "Hey baby, Lets rock and roll"
Hearty congratulations, Billy boy,she looks great!!
I agree with Bruce, what odds are you in the next race? Can I have a tenner each way?
Kindest Regards, Darryl


BTW, luv the number!!

Hey Bill,
Bet you don't want to get it dirty now, do you?!! lol

Hehe!!
