Yes great insurance with the trunnion kit, much safer than those small pesky needle rollers!

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Ooooh I like those trunnions. What they set you back?

well slow progress, have set up a temporary brace and located for the shocks so when i cut the old wheel tubs out I’ll be able to move each side in the same distance and be in the right position, so ready to start cutting out the old tubs and drilling spot welds out

Looking fantastic mate.  I remember when the Kombi came back from blasting, it just looks so clean and inspires you to work on it.  Fab build dude.

Been plotting away cleaned up the left over sealer the sandblasting didn’t get , also cut the tubs out. amazing how easy it is to work on being striped and on the rotisserie

A mate is coming up this Saturday to go over next step

Hi all not much progress just flat out with other stuff ( Karate ) I got some new parts for the blower a VCM front facing snout, 2.55 top pulley  and OTR looks really nice and the OTR is going to work sweet, also grab one of my old M/T on 15″ x 10″ rim from the Vk,, had to have the rear jack up to make them fit now with the mini tubs it fits great, in the process of buying the Inter-chiller kit with stage 2

That snout would of set you back a pretty penny.

also good luck with those headers. They are a nightmare to fit.

great progress

Thanks Cava yes the snout was not cheap it’s nice though, headers yes will be a prick but i knew i would be modifying them straight of the bat

Progress is good until  I ran out of gas for the welder in a lock down
