Bus, it is original paint!

Wayne and I perfected a way to scape of old original paint into a jar, add it to a "special solution" and put it onto another car. That way it's still original paint

The only challenge was, that because it is a "Special Solution" we tried it on a Standard (Morning grey that we sold) and it came out like it has been put on by a trowel!

Cal, one of the hardest thing to get when buying an old FB or EK is a car with original Mats and Trim.

These mats are as good as it gets, when it comes to the originals. They are much harder wearing as well. When one needs to pull them out again to re-stitch a seat, open the inspection plate, or bailing out water from the underlay, they lift out without tearing.

Never try to disturb old original mats, otherwise ....

Steve with all the engines out I hope they go back in the right cars

I know, we were on a roll, so we kept going. All were just a tad noisy, so might as well do them all at once.

I love the fact NSW puts the engine number on the Rego sticker, that way you can't mix'em up.

I had an fb in my garage that looked liked that today steve, it just felt wrong putting a stock motor in, so i took the liberty and cammed it, lighted alloy flywheel (my second last one), and a droped set of extractors into her.

I need to come to that shed for motivation.

Call me if you still want that stuff, its already for ya.
