Cheers for attaching it here..should be a 'sticky'!

Scotty.

Bit more done, finished all trims, bonnet bird mounted and other stuff that wasn't worth taking pics of....


If you are fitting trims to an undrilled door then I use masking tape to prevent slip ups that damage the paint, first thing is to mark the tape where the holes are required..... I also mark the position of the top of the trim on the tape (just for a safety check....once the holes are drilled it is too late!) When using a "Non standard" trim you have no reference from another car.








Drill the holes, after the tape is removed I use a small artists paint brush and apply grease to the newly drilled hole, this will help stop rust developing........




This is the FB top front door trim, I profiled it with the die grinder so it fits snuggly into the EK trim.....




These clips are from Rare Spares........... spring loaded with 3/16" threads.




All done.... and bonnet bird on (Sue really wanted the Bonnet Bird, so what Sue wants, Sue gets )






Modified front door chrome trim fitted to back door, modified back door trim fitted to front door

you guys crack me up!!! Hey RB, I think you are right about the "god" bit..... Sue has said to me many times "God you piss me off!!" ........ when I was a kid I thought I was "Jesus Christ" because everytime Dad would walk in the door he would say "Jesus Crist!, what have you done this time!!??" so there you go

Brakes all fitted and bled last night, front and rear windscreens going in this week, may be at rego stage end of next week

Remember the ugly one is always the NICE one

Good ol' Bill Cosby...... one funny bloke....

Nomad, the steering column is stock EK, the steering wheel and boss kit is $*#@ knows brand as I raided it out of one of the other sedans before I sold it, looked rusty and crappy, bit of TLC and about half an hour on the buff and hey presto, one new looking wheel (for free). I will try to track the brand down for you, Aust (Mod) has this wheel on his FB so maybe Andrew can cast some light on the breed of this wheel.

Well she had her first test run this afternoon............

So......How does driving a grey 'powered' holden feel
