Wayne with a Sydney 1961 FB

[stinky]

Had a go at cleaning the front seat today, scrubbed it three times and it still looks grubby.

Get some Arco into it! Spray/Wipe it on an leave it for a day or five and the crud comes right out, a bit of White Spirits and they'll look like new. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about the old stitching

I had the rims I have collected over time put on a spinner the other day.
Came up with 3 real good ones, 2 almost good ones and 7 duds.
So I have 2 good ones for the front and a good one for a spare.
I had all the tyres removed and dumped but had the tyre place
put the 4 best tyres and the 4 worse rims to give me some wheels to move my cars around with...

Had to get this done for painting the rims to match the FB wing.



Lucky my 13 x 6 rims are ok...

[WayneXG95]

We have brought some paint people!....
Well it's a start.



Also dropped my interior trim into "A Stich In Time" to have restored....

And dropped 5 rims into Quikstrip at Bankstown to be blasted @ $25 each.....

So now we wait for the weather to warm up..

Looks like you're having fun Wayne.

[WayneXG95]

Bulking up to cut costs...

Got the radiator back today, I'm happy with the job and all painted black, very nice.
He knows that I'm not useing it for a while so he is adjusting the warranty, Cool.
For $330 I think it's a fair price and he used the largest core he had....

For god's sake I'm getting excited about a radiator, someone shot me!..











Cheers

Took the front end of the FB to the Truck Wash and had it cleaned.
After I spent most of Sunday afternoon with a hammer and paint scraper....
(Thanks to Rusty and Scotty for helping me load it into the ute.)
Took four goes of acid and degreaser to clean it!
The reason for the clean was if Frank Tenesco who is doing up the front end
charged to much I'd have a clean one to work with.
He come in within budget so I'm happy.
Check out the pics

This is the front end from under my Adelaide FB
Check the link for those who haven't seen it

Now this is were it get's disappointing
The front end has a crack in it, you can't see it in the pic
but it goes up and around the metal. she had hit something hard

And as usual a broken spring who would have guessed..



My sill covers have turned up from Sam Crupi look great BTW..
