Oh yeah congrats on the ruggie! Yet another holden lover I hope!

Thanks


Tell you the truth I didn't notice that it was out so I assume it must be close to level, what conversion kit are you using?

Okay has been a while since I worked on the old girl, I've had the diff shortened and put back in and put the wheels on but that's about it
Have had a few things happening so haven't had the time to do any work on it
Decided to give her to a mate who can finish her properly
I'm glad I did as he has already had some good ideas and done more work in one week then I have in last 6 months




The first time she's been out of the shed for nearly 3 years




Stopping for Maccas on the way


Next to big brother


Going to have a look at it this weekend so hopefully will have more to update

Thats gonna be a sweet ride man.. paint and wheels are tops

X2 it looks freakin awesome ,great colour combo for the FB flash ,She's going to turn some heads on the street

Wow your close to finishing. Looks the goods. Well done.

Stewart

Cheers guys
Another small update

ripped the diff out again


Smooth it out


undercoat


Same treatment for springs


need the weather to clear to get them painted and back into the car

This tells me your got far too much time on your hands, or you going to park it upside down so people can see it?

you do know what happens to painted surfaces when they flex and rub togeather

What other option has he got, coat it all with canola oil?

Lookin’ good Scoobb!

Put a teaspoon of castor oil in the paint , that gives it a bit of give

Time what's that? That's why I'm getting someone else to do it
Nah bugger em they can lay down and have a look under if they really want to

Thats why I lower my cars, so you have to really try to see the dodgy stuff underneath .
