Small update and I know ya like piccies....

Doing some prep work prior to undercoat, Rusty found some imperfections that needed rectdumfacation.....



Zinc plated bonnet hinges looking good







One of the rear doors was stuffed so we fitted another







You can see the orginal colour, Cathy Gray with red undercoat



The new door being scrapped down, was only a crappy pink one





Engine bay looks great, I'm very happy with it.









Looks great even in primer thanks Rusty!.....



Cheers..

Don't tell me you just stood around taking photos all day while Russell did all the hard work Wayne...?

Nah, I was ripping the wiring loom (with russels guidedance) out of one of the stationwagons for a later FB....

Besides I'm the first to admit I don't know what the F*** I'm doing besides Scotty turned up and you know what they say about 3 being a crowd.....

Just giving you a razz. I'll be the second to admit I've only got a half idea that I know what I'm doing...

if you wanna talk about useless helpers, just ask Dave (Bootlegger) about a certain apprentice who's been helping on Saturdays


Looking good Wayne . Should be ready for the club show and shine this weekend

Scotty

Wow! It's like you were actually there at the same time.

Picked up my seats from Daniel at "A Stich In Time" yesterday
More then happy, considering what I gave him it's a brilliant job!..

Very nice job,you should have Rusty modelling them he likes being in piccy's
Pete

A little bit more.
After the curfuffle about the Rares Spares Window Rubbers Russell and I deceided to do a test fitting including the stainless trim.
Went in with no problems?....

I don't know what the problem was Stewart and I brought the rubbers around the same time.....







I'd even brought one off Betta Rubber just in case and no before you ask, Rusty'd not interested in installing windscreens!....

We also did a test with the side wing trim to check it before Russell starts painting, no problems there either...





Looking nice now with primer sprayed on.....



Might just get to the Tassie Nationals after all...
