Thread: Shorty - my 1952 80' Series 1

    Well - I got nothing done this weekend on Shorty ... but you get that. After all it was the little blokes first birthday today and we had a bl**dy great day after a bbq that seemed to start yesterday afternoon and end up some time late last night. Shorty was spoken about with a couple of enthusiasts over a beer; god only knows what plans I was speaking of

    Back into it this week - might have a look at the brakes and the front cross member

    Wayne - should all be good with the 3PL picked up tomorrow

    The new hose for the air intake arrived today and is now on She looks good. Have also found a pair of front guards in VIC that are for sale; photos to follow (hopefully tomorrow) - so I could be in business

    Must get into the brakes

    Gday GD,
    Olute went in July (I think). Now resides in sunny melbourne with Sleepy.
    This little one is great and requires a lot more work than Olute, but I am enjoying every bit of it. Can't wait to get it out and about.

    Wal - you are a legend I now have found some front panels for Shorty
    A little bit of work required on them but they are streets ahead of what I have and bl**dy good
    Here are a few pics of what I now have to work with:





    A little bit of panel beating is required (something else to learn) so what I am after is any info on "what is best" - hammers / techniques etc
    Any help people - much appreciated.
