skd30 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Did some more today...cleaned up the front bumper and put the freshly painted brackets back on. Made a bracket for the new hood release cable, generic one was half the price of ones on ebay. Theres some pics of the bonnet which had a bit of ripple in it which i noticed when i was rubbing back. Nothing to exiting but heres pics anyway polished patch compared to filthy untouched chrome All spick and span The back side...no rust on the front bumper :-)...the back one have rust on the inside so ill just spray that. some lumps and bumps on the bonnet filled up new hood release cable mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skd30 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Okay so a small update, getting stuck into the sanding, missing some skin on my fingers lol. All the wiring is sorted out, got a volt meter and figured out the wire for stereo and some other bits, also hooked up my levers and duct for the heater with loads of inox to get them moving freely and without noise,gotta love that stuff. Its almost ready for paint, I'm gonna make up a booth, got heaps of scaffolding and ill get a role of black plastic and make a big tent type thing with a ply floor 9got loads of the stuff here, cheers dad :-)) The plan is to have it ready early next week, gotta book it in for a wheel alignment and get an exhaust bent up then its ready. Also my wire mesh on the demister vents was shot so I used fly screen, still blows through fine (not sure what others do but this came up good). Sprayed em black for a tidy up too. A few pics so far, has changed a little these are a few days old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skd30 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 So the plan was to have it on a trailer heading to town for blue slip on tuesday. WELL That not gonna happen, shit weather ment i couldn't paint it and I only finished prep work this morning (sanded so much to past few days my finger tips bled haha oops). So I'm heading to uni for the week then gonna see how the weather is next on the weekend, hopefully ill get it on the road early next week weather permitting. Other than sanding i did 2 little things, put some plugs around my brake lines and stuck some fresh foam on my vents nothing major. with the plugs i got solid ones, used a hole punch to ans a stanly to mod them to fit, they were a little big hence cutting out the wedge. thats is all....hopefully next week ill have some paint to show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sure, wait and see what it looks like on the car. dash in, wheel, just to steer it in the shed, will have a ring around the screw holes and a horn in it when i put it in properly bit of clarion sound, the hole had been cut in there by the last owner (would have much rather had the old am radio and tape deck in there and stuck the sterio in the glove box...but we can't have it all i spose Dash, has a few cracks but i don't have to money to re-skin it just yet.
