We put the rear bumper on and taillights in (STILL WAITING FOR RARE SPARES TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER) so I can get my lenses and plenum drain tubes.
I ordered some window winders and handles last week on friday got them today they came from QLD and was told by rares at prospect that the gear I ordered from them would be in friday.
I called them and waiting waiting waiting still no drain tubes and lenses!!
Hope everything is still progressing, looks good.

I would also love to hear what the tricks were in hanging your doors???? :? :D

Well well well!!!
It seems as though I have found a new lease of love of the old Fb that has taken up a permanent space in my factory.
In the last 3 weeks I have listed it on eBay and as a result have connected the tailshaft wired up the engine electrics had the exhaust fitted bled the brakes fitted the front bumper, Revved the shit of the motor!!!
Fitted the bonnet and am getting the interior fitted next week.
I have a sh#tload of photos of my progression and will post an as finished celebration burnout video.
Stay tuned

Most excellent dude !!!! 8)
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I also re-read this thread.
You've come way too bloody far to let someone else get the glory.
I think forum members within a 50k zone of your factory should all turn up next weekend with a deckchair and an esky to cheer you on.. :clap: :clap: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've probably missed a post, but why are you selling it so soon after doing all that work? New project in the pipeline?
You've got to at least cruise around in it for a bit!
Looks great, well done.
