that paint job looks brilliant , the exciting stuff starts now, I have a set of brand new windscreen rubbers from Bill Thompson Auto Rubbers in Melbourne. Somehow I ended up with 2 sets. I also got my door rubbers from rare parts in Perth ,they seem to fit pretty good.

Haven't put any pics up for a while so thought we would up date, we have been on a road trip to Daryl's and picked up some all important hubcaps, interior mirror and one lot of seat material

Thanks Daryl!

We have had a few weekends at her and she seems to be progressing nicely, we can put the key in to start her, and she roars into life. We are still working on collecting more seat 'skins' so we can finish the upholstery but for now have put the seats in as they are. Stoked with the front bumper, had some trouble fitting the lights... Heaters in but the knob has got lost in the restoration process so that's frustrating. Hopefully next week we will have the 'new' wheels on, as we have nearly finished cleaning them up.

One of my favourite colour schemes for an FB

One question - have you fitted the guards up without fitting the scuttle panel ? The scuttle needs to go on first
