The worst of that could be tapped out with a hammer and dolly, then hit with filler and paint and you would never tell it had been hit, replacing a panel for that is overkill, i had to replace the panel on my van because it looked like this, THIS justified a replacement, this had been hit by a fence...

I have an air powered one that takes the 330mm x 10mm belts, and like everyone else's they do snap belts quite quickly when used on metal, but i haven't tried any expensive belts for it like the Norton ones so maybe they would make a difference...or it could be marketing BS, its a handy tool none th...

No not replace beacause of it, but I am thinking of dropping the block to replace all the wearable bits, so if i was to get it out anyway might not been too much more effort to just pop another in. I enjoy the mechanics side and would be tempted by a simple conversion like a AGG or 1Z Tdi myself as...

here's the pics as promised of the carpets finished after their pressure washing, came up pretty well http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/weegaz22/20160814_194803.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/weegaz22/20160814_194729.jpg And PC oven 90% done http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/weegaz22...

Didn't get much done to the van other than tiger sealing up the welding under the arches due to my neck being a bit knackered from sleeping at a funny angle so did a bit more work on the "oven" and got some pics of the Blasting cabinet, here is some progress pics on them Blast cab http://i...

Hope you reported that stolen number plate. They would have nicked it for a reason. 'Ringing' another vehicle, probably. Oh...great work by the way. Aye, It was the police that woke me up to tell me, they chapped on the door to tell me one of my neighbours seen the guys taking it off the car around...

Nice, reminds me i have to do the other 4 windows in mine, did the one behind the westy cabinets while they were out so i could get them back in, didn't do the rest as it was a bit windy that day and it was catching the film while cutting to size, i went for a medium smoke iirc, think the rear windo...

ahh, good thing that i asked then as i seen an AAZ one for sale, saved myself some agro then

Cheers for the T3 designer link guys, never seen it before, although not that it matters as i already have my paint sitting there waiting to go on, i think with the likes of pop tops and hi-tops they generally have to be white, tin tops you can kind of play about with the colour as the roofline is s...

Found more rust!, so on friday i cut it all out and saturday did the welding just at the passenger footwell a few inches down from the seatbox, next to the arch, made up a panel and welded it all in vactaned and zinc primered, and a wee bit at the ballast tank under the drivers seat, again made up a...

Please, please don't mention neighbours. Friday, elderly nutso neighbour parked his car across the narrow lane where we live to get someone to call the police so he could complain to them about my van. When it didn't work out he started ranting and raving. When I ignored that, he started grabbing h...

Blue smoke is oil, white smoke is coolant, black is fuel

Would have got more done this weekend but seeing as some twat nicked my number plates off my car so i had to spend a couple of hours dealing with that, anyway... All welding finished now, just have to get the seam sealer on, small rear quarter and panel all now on and attached. http://i3.photobucket...

Just to check when you swap in an aaz you do keep the aaz sump pan don't you? Not too familiar with the specifics of vw engine swaps, don't want to source a sump then find its the wrong one

Are you a fatty?
just kidding, could be excess play in things like the driver side top balljoints
