Frank's KVA Build

[Dalton Veitch]

Good large garage/work area there. Is that a mains power electric winch to raise your mezzanine stair?

 

[René]

thats a lot of work to re-organize Frank
but a nice big space to work with the car. (though its a bit cold now in NL)

Dalton it's a 12v carwinch so i put a battery with a special charger.

Rene i've been sorting it out for about a year now ,still not finished
luckely i've got a big heater so inside there's no ice (only in the freezer)

Hi Frank,

How do register such a car in Holland?
I am considering on buying a gt40 from 1994 but I am afraid that it wont be so easy to imort it to Holland.
Any tips please?

A New year , A fresh start

Everybody The best wishes a healthy and productive new year.

I'm strating the new year with a fresh start.
Had some days off so started to work on the garage again this time my kids and nephew helped out a bit.
First it was a lot of work just to empty the garage .
Then fixed the floor and putt some paint on the walls, but the result is nice.

Garage?? Looks more like an aircraft hanger. Great space; I'm really jealous.

 

[frank beuker]

Well we did fly with our small helicopters so in a matter of speach.....could be a aircraft hanger

 

[Geert-Jan]

Maybe off topic, but anyone of the Dutchies going to LMC?

Oh yeah, great garage Frank!
Me also a bit jealous

 

[frank beuker]

I'm going to the lmc
At the moment i'm looking at the different prices by ordering direct at le mans or through the gt40 enthusiasts club
Frank

 

[Geert-Jan]

So, in what car will you be driving overthere?
Are you planning to finish the gt40 by then?

 

[frank beuker]

No i'm afraid not
Were going in à camper

 

[frank beuker]

Yes started on the gt again after almost three years .
first had to look where to start again but i Know again
First start with getting the wheels square and than checking the body fittings (found out to late that the body wasn't straight on the chassis.

 

[Eddie]

Frank, That front panaling turned out OK...looks good...is it fully removable...nice to see you back in action... it can,t be 3 years since I was last at your place...will bring the 6 barrel Alpine down one Sat.
Cheers Eddie.

 

[frank beuker]

Yes Eddie,
Time goes fast
about the panneling I'm not sure yet thinking about two options
-welding it together to be sure to get a watertight result (without the use of any kind of kit)
-welding alu corners to one side and using rivets or screws and kit at the other side
looking forward to seeing you here with youre alpine
cheers frank

Geert-Jan

 

[frank beuker]
