"The Joker 67" Bug resto

I have had to re-paint the n/s/door as there must have been some damp in the filler , which had some very slight bubles in the area. so i cleaned all the filler away from that area, sanded it back, blasted it and treated the area with metal ready.

i have also fitted the engine in and played with the suspension.

just a couple of pics after a bit of cleaning.

looks awsome! This really is coming together rather quickly now! Good work squire

I'm sick jealous .........it's great fair play

It's awesome shorty, great work mate.

I've had a twitch!

i did see some nice ally ones on isp west, but really need chrome ones.


how you keeping? i did see some pick of your new garage/lock up, looks ggod.

That's a good call Andy, the gold ones looked shit when I had them on my Cab.

i was just out the unit last weekend and need to check some colours outside, so pushed it out in the sun.

Cool, but your camera just doesn't do the colour any justice at all.

Sorry to hear about the door dude.

I agree with Gungie, those pics don't show it to be nearly as good as it is Bud

I have been quite busy over last few days, narrowed the front beam 4" , by chopping 6" out the middle, adding 2 sway aways, and re-locating beam mounting brackets to correct position, , converting damper mount from l/h, drive to r/h drive. Beam has standard bearings fitted so no urethane bushes.

Now off to get powder coated with other bits.






pics to follow as never had camera at time.

how easy/dificult is it to narrow the beem dude

its not too bad .......but you need to cut the springs an re-do the original shape dimples for the pinch bolts ....I have one for a ball joint beam if your interested ......but the springs aren't cut to length ........but beware you will loose some turning circle
