Certainly makes a difference. Top stuff :hmm:

Thanks Ryan. It really does make a huge difference. But all in all, I'm rapt with the way things turned out.

 

Josh |blink|

Looking good!

 

The panel van dash I have is one piece. The dash you have there is from an early KE3x which happen to be a two-piece job, whereas the panel van's are all one-piece which makes changing colour a bit more of a difficult process.

 

For me, I have to get the whole dash pad reupholstered which is around 300 bucks, so good work on saving yourself some cash |blink|

C'mon Mick, your games slipping a bit. Its a Late KE3x/55 dash.

Yeah I'm tired, leave me alone |blink|

 

Either way, its still a two piece :hmm:

Ya grumpy ol bugger, jks :D

 

But yes, still a 2 piece and now a remarkably good looking one at that :D

Not much of an Update really. Ollie has been sitting up the sideway with a Car Cover over it.

 

We are now in search for a Really Good to overrated Condition Ke36/Ke38 Tailgate.

 

Woz & Josh :wub:

Good luck Woz and Josh. I managed to find onw with Mick's aid, but even that needed work.

Just an Update...

 

Instead of taking off the rest of the parts from Ollie, Primer-ing and Spraying her, We Stripped Stupid our VR Commodore that we're wrecking (now wrecked) and got 98% of the parts off and ready for sale on eBay.

 

For the Money that we get from Selling these Parts and Things, it will be used to buy the Coded Paint and Gun ready for Painting.

 

We are still in Search of a Ke36/38 Tailgate in a Fairly Decent Condition, and a Good Paint Shop somewhere in Melbourne.

 

Woz & Josh :blush:

Just a little update...

 

We got ourselves an Engine Crane today. :happy: Dad brought it home from Supercheap Auto straight after work. He backed into the garage, pulled it out straight away, and we then started assembling it. It took 30 mins to assemble because of the dodgy bolts and washers that was provided, but we eventually finished it.

 

We've also been Wrecking Commodores (VP and VR) to help fund for the Paint. We've completely stripped the VR and now stripping a VP.

 

We're now tossing up between 2 new colour ideas, again. It is either the VE Poison Ivy Green, or the VE Voodoo Blue.

 

Not much has been done to Ollie, except for turning it over every Fortnight, and using it as storage for leftover VR Parts, such as Roof Lining and all the Plastics in an Australian Post Tub.

Well...

 

During the week, we were given the Heads-Up by "The overrated Ke70" that there was a Ke38 Panelvan complete in Andy's Autos Wreckers on Camp Rd, just off the Hume HWY. So today, we made time to go have a look at it to see the Condition of the Tailgate from this Ke38 with my Grandfather (Rufus).

 

We got there at 1.30pm and looked around for 5 minutes to find this Ke38. We found it and looked at the Tailgate and saw a Dent near the Right Boot Latch. Dad said that it can be fixable by whacking it back in to place. So we went to the Man who runs the Wreckers and asked him how much he wanted for it, and he said $150. We explained the Damage to him and ended up showing him the Damage. He took a look at it and said, "Yep, I'll stay with $150". We offered him $80 and he scoffed at the offer and walked away.

 

The Ke38 also had 14" Corona Steelies and the Guy said $30 a wheel with the Tyres having 40% Tread on them. We walked out with nothing.

 

We then went to Pick-a-Part down the road to take a look what was in there. Poppa needed a Wheel Stud for his Ke10 because it snapped, and with luck, we saw a Ke20 in there. While Dad and Poppa were taking off this Wheel Stud, I looked around for Corolla Wagons and Panelvans. There were Corona Wagons here and there, and 1 Ae71 Wagon, but no Ke36/38's.

 

We're still in search of a Ke36/38 Tailgate, still. Help is much appreciated.

 

We've also put up the Ke35 Hubcaps up for sale to fund for the Paint and other things.

Do I sense a slight holden-family trend here? haha

This is looking to be a tasty little car mate, and I know it's been hinted at before, but you've gotta be blessed or something!

The car and discount car-parts god is looking out for you, don't you worry!

We are a Holden Family. As mentioned previously (somewhere in this thread), we have a VT S-Pac and a VZ Berlina.
