Flying along!!! Certainly a big improvement from the way it was when I saw it years ago (in its green gise prior to your purchase). Can't wait to see it finished.

[ekdave1962]

Devil yeah lots of hard work but she getting not sure if laurie the pervious owner look at forums .. im she he would be wrapped to see her now

yeah trev hope to have here on the rd soon although there lots of little things still to be do .. she no show car
sprayed it myself out side so theres lot of little bug in it .. ha ha ..
gee wish i had seen that portable garage idea earlier ..

but wanted to build the car my self didnt see the point in sending it off to be done cos for me the challange was in doing the job been 20 years since i sparayed a car or did any serious welding so it was fun and that the idea of the car she just a fun cruizer that i can say i did the lot good or bad .. lol

LOOK MUCH Better with chrome

[mrs ratbox]

as long as yor happy with it that's all that really matters
besides all the rubbing i think that's part of why i don't bother with shinney paint 1/ i like flat paint 2/ i know small imperfections would bug the shit outta me

[Devilrod]

If its been 20 years since you last sprayed, you sure ain't lost the touch. I'd be proud as hell with what you've done and also considering where!

[ekdave1962]

ah a little more work goes on motor and trans back in yesterday ..
she getting there



Now ah and the hood liner .. best i could get it man there pain in the rear fitter 4 times before i was 95% happy .. that not the final fit pic but was only one i had on camera



ah now back to the re wire .. ooh thats fun but acctually easy if ya take it 1 wire at a time ..

[BILLY BLACKARROW]

looking good !!! When you do your wiring would you like to visit me & while your hear you may as well do mine . BILL

[rosco]

Yep - you gotta be happy with this Dave......

Wiring looms - they are all only one wire - repeated many times..... it's when you look at the forest - they can be a bit "daunting"...... hope you kept a good record of your colour code......

Sent a pm re- horn.... will post it to the others for consideration/response.....under "horn".....folk - comments please.

Themo outlet Dave.... um..... I used the flat one which points slightly to the rear of the pass side - Burson's have an alloy one ( Kryal Kastings" for around the $20 ish - polishes up a treat......
I have a stock HK/T/G six radiator and used ... umm..... brb...

log book entry =
upper radiator hose Mackay CH787 – Burson’s 6.48

If you have a radiator/hoses which this fits up to - please ignore above comment......

going great - can just about hear it turning over for the first time.....

looking really nice, good to see you did it yourself. are you staying with the indy's? i love the look of them, the car just needs to be a bit closer to earth. great progress, i bet you can smell the exhaust fumes already.
