Well hello again everyone, long time away from here unfortunately. Work and life has generally been crazy busy but we are back on 'Ozzy' again and its a mad push to get him to the trimmers in October now. A little bit of progress since my last post, lots of stuff has been refurbished and the shell i...

Hi Thank you, we got our dash made by John @ Fastcraft. It really is fantastic, and just flawless. You can contact him on email - john@fastacraft.com He will need the inner plastic rings from your old dash. I had to break my old dash to get theses out, but given the sorry state of my dash anyway thi...

So next update and a few more pictures: The prep on the body is underway and it will soon be in paint, now that bit I am really looking forward too The floor has been sealed, protected and painted. We used a protection called Raptor - it's really tough and and is also available so we can tint it whe...

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies. I think I am going with the curved paint line. As you say Dave there are other non-original features to the car.

Hi Guys and Gals, My Notch has now gone into paint and the roof is going to be black, but what is the correct way to paint it? Everywhere I look i seem to get different answers. Its a 1964 Australian model. Should it have the square cut lines - like this https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...

Thanks Guys, the months are running away with me but hopefully end of March 2016 deadline is still achievable Ozzy is off to the paint shop in October, so the now completely rust free body can be prepped and painted - Excited :) https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/11951988_10207674247203864_19286...

While all this has been going on my new dash pad arrived all the way from Australia. I'm really pleased with it :D :D :D https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1505606_10206396524701600_6568912760801750963_n.jpg?oh=5e4365cd1040b1524270206e44f68932&oe=5842C4C5 And I restored my gauges. Very chuffed w...

Sorry for the delay in updating, the months are just flying by. So lots has been happening to Ozzy. The pictures will tell a better story than me :) He has been de-rusted, etch primed and is now being welding back to his forum glory at Paul Baker Custom Metal Works - Regular update can be found on P...

Hello Folks, so its been a good few weeks but here is an update. We made the decision to strip the car right back and have it sent away for paint ad rust removal. It is off on Tuesday to a company called Enviro-Strip UK. We did a lot of research and got a really good feel for these guys. This change...

So a little later than planned and we have stripped Ozzy's interior out and its now in our spare room until its refurbished :shock: :shock: I really cant decide weather to go the whole hog and strip it right back, possible dip and strip or to do as planned - Weld in to new floor pans and lower sills...

Hi Mike Thank you. Ahhhh thesamba.com I completely forgot about this - it was a big help when we rewired our Bus. I only associated it with buses :oops: Lots of interesting stuff on there :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Thanks for the tips on the gauges I will give them a go over Christmas - they all work exp...

Hi Everyone from a Newbie :) Meet Ozzy :) Our 1964 Australian RHD Notch which we have just purchased :) The plan is to fully strip it down and make a start on putting it right from bottom to top - We have given ourselves 6-7 months for this :shock: fingers crossed http://rs904.pbsrc.com/albums/ac244...
