so, dropped her at Trev's this morning, went to work, and came back to the back done and undercoated, and the rust on the side rear windows started also.

he only stopped due to the rain. what a legend..!

love your work, mate..!

 

will let the pics tell the story

 

 

 

also filled in the bumper mount holes, so it doesnt look like it's missing

told you it was an easy fix

mmmmm that black bottle is going down sooo well at the moment

found this pro bumper spacer FTW..!

fuel filter and pump 'mounted' directly above the diff, but just smaller than the bump stops...so close to getting crushed.

will be relocating that setup asap

mmmmm that black bottle is going down sooo well at the moment

 

you earnt it mate..!

driver's side is literally rusted right through to both skins and through the interior metal

 

thats about as far as it got today.

picking up an exhaust manifold gasket tomorrow, hopefully fix the leak, tidy up the wiring, raise the height to a driveable stance, it literally sits on the bump stops. then get into the body more

once again, thank you very much Trev, you kicked ass today, mate

 

getting there

 

thanks for reading

and to think it only took about 7 hours to get it all done

 

Dayum, thats some epic rust.

nah that wasnt too bad .... ive seen and dealt with worse

and hey..!

i remembered that while checking it out, he said the throttle body was off an XF falcon.

thats why the dammn TPS wont wire up...lol

got a line on my old 4age ae82(thanks Luke..!) so hopefully chuck a bit off that into this to get it driveable

Had a laugh but it bugged me a little

If ya had the money to spend it on zipties, ya would have had the money to do it properly the first time round.

But noooo, zowies going to have to do it properly.

 

Poor men use fencing wire stolen from council fences.

 

The morning parting

so did you want me to fabricate a new mount for the fuel pump

i can mount it on the diff so it wont move if you want............lol
