Heater is out of a 60 series landcruiser.

They are fitted under the drivers seat in the landcruiser and the heater lines run under the floor, hence the bottom barb fittings.

Hey guys bit of an update

i have 2 weeks off school for between term break they start Monday

but i had today off and im having tomorrow off as well

so today i started panel work on the spare R/H/F guard i got with the car the one currently on the car has small damage but is rusty on the wheel arch

so with the help of dad (HPaddict) i got the spare down to bare metal today

my first time doing proper panel work and i loved it

it had some bog in it over small dents that are easily fixable that will be getting hammered flat again

it has a major rust hole at the bottom of the wheel arch at the back of the guard that dad is going to cut out and weld in a new plate it has small rust in the top of the wheel arch but is only minor so dad is going to weld it up

being my 1st time using the sanding disc on the buff i was working slowish and gentle it took me 1hour to do half the guard

5 o`clock came and there was still half a panel to do so dad took over and being an EX panel beater/spray painter by trade he got the rest done in 5 minutes making me look like an idiot

anyway its now in bare metal and ready for repairs

enough of me blabbing on here is some pics

the pic of the headlight surrounds as promised on the 26th august



heres the guard
what i did






and what dad did




Thanks Dad for helping me out today i would probably still be there if you didnt take over

so thats the progress report (for now)

cheers
mike

everyone is slow when they first start, just a matter of getting used to it. you'll get plenty of practice

yep aggreed mate i was just touching the guard and working majorly slow at 1st haha after 10 mins i was working at a good pace with just enough pressure but my wrist was aching so i had to keep stopping haha

cheers
mike

thats ok mate, you did well today. we'll get her all scrubbed up and lookin sweet.

It is a pretty steep learning curve, but a good one to be on. Mike you've got a big help seeing as your Dad is helping too. Best way to learn.

yep i think so to

Thanks For All The Kind Comments

Looking forward to the pics mate!
I reckon every man and his dog have owned a HK/T/G, and theres a good reason for it, good cars!!
My first car was a HT Kingswood sedan, bought it of my old mans mate that'd had it since new always garaged, immaculate. 186 3 speed.
All I had to do was drop it on its guts
That was 18 years ago. Sold it 15 years ago for $1800
Geez I wish I still had it, best car I've ever had I reckon!
You'll be a pro in no time if you listen to your old man mate, he'll be able to teach ya all the little tricks that us porpers have to find out the hard way
Keep up the good work mate
Cheers Muza
