Yeah I would'nt mind going to the drags myself this weekend, but I'm due to have a family affair so we are off camping instead. But I'm sure we will catch up sometime.

Here she is in full metal jacket. Like all who completes cars I'm pretty stoked with how she turned out.









Here is a closer shot of the strip removed between the doors, its much neater than how the factory did it.


Maybe hopefully I will see most of you guys at the nationals in Forbes,

Hey Ratbox. It is pretty easy with a bit of know how, I still have the template I made for the One piece glass.
1st you have to fabricate a channel to suit the length of the window runner and extend it around the 20mm mark, you then have to notch that channel at the top to locate it into the original window channel to door frame, on the channel you also have to weld a bracket and nut for fixture of a adjustable bolt for window alignment adjustment, then fit that to the front door frame. then extend the window regulator for full length sweep, a complete I piece bailey channel rubber and Bob's your uncle a 1 piece front window.
Oh by the way I forgot to mention you need to infill the door on the outer and inner section where the 1/4 window used to reside. I actually did have a whole lots of pics for this but I ended up with a virus and deleted my hard drive when I reformatted, thats what you get for not backing up.
Regards John.

re one peice front window, does the top door hinge get in the way?? looks like it would clear it! but thought id ask
a mate did it to his eh and had to change/modify (cant remember) the top hinge

WOW OMFG looks choice, those wheels really suit the car,see ya don't have to spend heaps on wheels to get "the look".
I do prefer the quater windows, maybe just to get the air in?
....Now the inside of the brake lense housing thingy, i bet you agonised with that, where to cut in the other colour. Just wondering if the inside should be half and half to follow the inside line of the indicator???
