Hi Deano. It’s not through lack of trying.
Didn’t know post had gone through? The iPhone was spinning it wheels on the upload???
I am off wifi, so here goes again.
I could have a siesta while it’s cranking away. I think the files may be too big?
Stuck on 66% upload 🤬
Diff is KBS rust seal. I love it.
I hope Glenn can figure a solution as it’s so much easier doing this on the Mac. Just call me old school 🐠

What, you builted a rotisserie, does it have a vented brake rotor and hyd handbrake 😁. But seriously, great your making progress and sometimes making a gantry is the best investment.
Ok guys , I get the 66% stall rate too on the phone, the trick is to change to the full version and do it there, I've never had a pic not load in the full site, get into the Full Version which allows pics (short version doesn't) . But if you've written a long story first be sure to copy/paste to save more angry moments ..I think you'll know what I mean by all that. Also the full version allows us to thumbs up other comments which the mobile one doesn't... Maybe this can be added in at some stage for us slackers not caring to fire up the laptop ??!

so the Geelong Revival. AKA speed trials were on again, which turned out great for some motivation.
Literally the first car that jumped out was this yellow beauty:
nah, no prize for you Marty, the 54% gremlins on full version still there.
Windows PC, sits on timer at 54%
Anyone else want to try?
Maybe my longest 22 page thread is too big now?
Yeah I know, theres only really 6 pages of interest... :)

That's a bugger... Maybe need to compress the pics down then, or when taking pics turn your 196megapixl fone camera down to 12mp 📸

Yes Marty. Rotisserie has old drum brake and I use chain to lock it up. My better half nearly fainted when she saw me working around it. So now we’re both happy (if you know what I mean 😍)
Yeah still no word on my wifi gremlin 😔
Apparently an app is required to resize already take photos on the iPhone.
I’ll hassle Glenn see if any progress???

hi guys, time to get back to the van. I'd like to get a windscreen sorted, but of course need to do the headliner first. Does anyone have any pics or measurement of the headliner bows? It needs a full length headliner, and would be happy to make the liner and some bows, but don't have anything at all as a reference or pattern. These guys sell a full length headliner for $185 delivered https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/133745112356

I've used their full length headliners and are still good many years after. Deano when I did the white van of my mates, we made the rods from 6mm and bent them up to press snug against the roof skin. The measurements will vary depends on how tight you want it. Brush on Contact adhesive works best . You'll need to make 4x garnish (alloy strap)to cover the side trimming and make a rear one, alloy and polish the edges to not cut that new lining up. I'll edit this post once I get pics from my vans, hang tight !    Hope these pics help out where you need to drill holes, but if your making the rods, don't drill until you've made them

thanks Mary for the pics, very helpful.
No worries, I'll order the head liner and make some bows up then, thats fine.
I think the inside will end up being fully lined, to hide my bodgy welding of the window infills, some im hoping then that the lined side panels will alleviate the need to metal trims, but thats still down the track.
I started the 4 door yesterday just to keep it happy.
A new battery, and the B***y thing fired upon on about the 3rd crank, which was good for the motivation.
Just about time to get cracking again :)
