Re: FB Special project
nothing that can't be fixed,with a lot of hard work of cause
Re: FB Special project
Looks to be in all the common spots, but it does suck uncovering someone else's average repairs.
Like blacky said, better to find it now, rather then find out about it later.
Will have to come check it our soon!

Re: FB Special project
Yeah I'm really happy I had it done, as Blacky said better to find it now rather than later.
Lots of work to do, some I will be able to tackle myself, the more difficult stuff I'll have to bring in the experts.
Cheers

EffBee,
Looks like Grandpa is enjoying himself there with a few coldies. I hope he didn't get behind the wheel of the ute after? What a great couple of pics. Thanks for posting.
Regards
Stephen

Re: FB Special project
Just thought I would post a quick update on the FB
While I patiently wait for the body and panel works to be completed I have been busy sourcing, cleaning, blasted, priming, re-chroming and cadmium plating all my old parts
Here are just some of the parts that I have refurbished
The new extractors I had ceramic coated
The refurbished steering wheel courtesy of Pearlcraft
A whole heap of parts I blasted, primed and repainted
Refurbished seat sliders
Refurbished pedal box
Bench seat side panels, sanded, primed and ready for paint
A few little pieces rechromed, my wallet is to scared to get all the big items done

Re: FB Special project
Just a quick update on the build, with some more panel repair work done.
All four doors complete, with new door skins from Capalaba in Queensland (Rare Spares), skins were just about perfect, just some minor mods to the rear wheel arch section but all in all an excellent product if anyone needs replacement skins.
Cheers
