Joshs Ke36 Panelvan Project.

[JJT036]

Read through the entire thread, took some time but well worth it to see the progress made over time :)

 

Hats off to you and your dad for gettin all this work done yourselves. What I would do to have the space to take Pinnerz off the road and get stuck into her :glare:

 

Can't wait to see some paint get down on the panels and you actually driving it :P

 

Love the thread and car, and am keen to see the progress

 

Chris :jamie:

Thanks Chris. :y:

 

It'll be sometime before we finish it, and I get to drive it on the road. I get my Learners in July this year, and I'll probably be getting 'round in Dad's Smurf if he doesn't boost it. :D

 

Something like this Josh... Note the drink cooler :)

Thanks Nobs.

 

I might be going for that setup for Ollie, but I just looked under The Smurf's bonnet, and I have a pretty cool setup in mind. :jamie:

Hey guys,

 

Did some more progress today. :dance:

 

We unbolted the Auto off the New 4K so we could have it ready to go into Ollie. I rang up my Uncle Chris, and he came 'round and his Mate to help us put the 4K into the garage, so we could swap over the engines, which didn't happen today.

 

We put the 4K on our Engine Crane, took a good look at it, and Dad suggested we take it apart and paint it up ready to go. So we did.

 

We took off the Emission-Filled Carby, Intake and Exhaust Manifold, the Alternator, Water Pump, Fuel Pump, Oil Filter, the Dizzy and the Plugs. We then Degreased the Engine, and scrubbed off the Oil and Grease with soapy water.

 

We then started the painting. Dad unbolted the Alternator into Pieces to inspect the condition of it, which is a Reco one, then we grabbed out the Spray Cans, and started painting it, as well as the engine, and other parts. In our opinion, it looks pretty spiffy. :)

 

We got pics of the before, and after for ya's all to see. :)

 

Got Ollie to the garage and the Engine on the Crane.

 

Took off the parts and degreased the block so we can paint it.

 

Halfway through the Painting stage.

 

The Engine put together after Painting.

 

And Josh snapped some Pics of the 3 Rolla's, and the 2 Ke36's.

 

Enjoy.

Woz & Josh :cool:

[JJT036]

Well it's quarter-past 11pm, and i'm absolutely rooted, and Josh is totally stuffed! We're all supporting cuts, bruises, and sore parts.

 

What a day it's been. I would have been happy with just gettin the paint in the engine bay!

But as per normal, i just could not stop. :lolcry:

Here is some more pics for ya's. Enjoy. :)

 

Engine and Gearbox hooked up ready to go in.

 

Sitting on the Engine Mounts.

We're LIVE !!! :dance:

 

Josh's Ke36 Panelvan Project. :)

 

Tomorrow we're gonna finish off the engine bay, and put back in the radiator, thermo-fan housing, and radiator support panel.

 

It is definitely now scheduled that the actual painting stage will be over easter.

Josh is excited that he now has an engine that runs like shit out of shanghai, starts 1st shot, and absolutely flogs. :dance:

All it needs now is a weber. He's bustin my nads for one already! :lolcry:

Looks good guys, except I've learned it's pointless painting extractors the heat will make em flake and peel off :P

[JJT036]

IT just makes them look prettier while they stick out like dogs balls. :D

Awesome progress guys, both of you put Overhaulin' to shame!! The more I see, the more I like :y: :y:

Thanks Ben. :y:

 

There will be more done today. We're gonna spray Under the bonnet with some sample paint dad has leftover, then we're gonna put back in the Radiator, Thermo-Housing, and the Support Panel. We're gonna try and bare the 40 degree heat as we do this. Dad and I are keen. :D
