Cheers NoMad , decide for yourself if it turned out good . Last job of the day was wire brush , ranex and paint the floor ready to cover with Chinamat tomorrow.


I need one of these lense covers if anyone knows of any lying around please ?????

ahhh nice, came out sweet... you guys did tons on the Sunday, I'm sure only a few beers were put away.

the floors should hold up to another 70 years now

Nice work Blacky. Lots of helping hands make a big difference.

looks like a blinker light of a old mini.

Fitted the new plates today , have managed to iron out most of the bugs, need to replace steering box and that will be about it for the mechanical side of things , still want to paint the roof and replace the left rear quarter.

Nice one blacky have you had those plates for a while.

no mate, ordered them when I bought the car - was tossing up whether to get these or XFB-215 seeing as it was a standard but isnt too standard anymore !!!

Forgot I had his , bought it a few years back and found it today amongst a stack of other stuff



Looks cool I reckon !!

Giving the old tart a bit of a tidy up for the nationals , went to fit me flash Rockets that i did up at Christmas and the bloody wheel studs are too short so off to Armadale Auto Parts to pick up a set of longer ones plus a set of rear shocks seeing as I replaced the rear springs that were sitting about 1/2" off the bump stops

Fitted them up


and the bastards rub that bad the car is undrivable

looks good though , even with the arse end sitting about 3 inches higher than it was ,,,,,



Decided it was time to do something about the roof , started sanding off the half sanded mess that the roof has been since i bought the car



Took some doing but its ready to hit with 180 and prime and paint tomorrow



Found out why neither back window would go down , the runner has fallen off the passengers side one and the weld that holds the slide to the runner had broken off on the drivers side. Welded the drivers one up in situ and will get some sikaflex for the passengers one tomorrow. Also fixed the inside handle on the drivers side rear door so now the hitchikers can escape !!

The headliner has split and is hanging down pretty badly so we did a cheap and cheerful repair/bodge job on it . Went to spotlight and bought some white furry stuff and glued it over whats left of the original headliner. Rough but at least its legal now and fits in with the rest of the bodgy shit

What we started with


a few safety pins and a bit of glue.......


and voila !!!!

That's gotta suck with the rims, looks good with them on.

There's laws against raising lowered cars though Blacky.....

How about fitting some super skinny tyres low rider style?

Been wondering about those rims. There is a set for sale needing a refurb but I don't know much about them.
