Thanks Muza, EKAmigo and Searsy, It's nice to get some feedback I showed the girls at work and they were like... it looks like it needs a lot of work really dampened my excitement.. if there not car people they just don't get it..

Looking great, but whats an "F" casting engine?

Sorry should have been engine starts with the prefix F - taken out now to avoid confusion

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.

Got any pics of the paint job on the HQ?

FB looks too!!

Looking good, well as good as an FB can

Awesome job guys...

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
