Got a set of Sam's scratch plates myself (thanks Fingers ) Nice product

Lazy afternoon spent cleaning the roof lining
Kenco "Shift it" and scrubbing brush.
Although it came out of the Adelaide FB
I'm hoping I can put it in this one. Looks like I might have to replace the back two panels.
If I have to do it myself there a post in here about doing just that.













Cheers

Picked up my restored front end today from Frank Tedesco
Looks good can't wait to get it in the FB....
Getting my steering box done as well....







Bloody petrol tanks playing up on me, another issue to deal with.....
Pics of that tomorrow.

Who is that bloke holding box of dynamat? He looks like he could put on a few pounds...

First fuel tank I had cleaned had holes in it..bugger
So was successful with a second one but this is what was inside the first.

Got my Rims back today off Rusty all painted a pretty white...

Also had my new Nexxis 185x80 R13 fitted as well..looking good...

Had a problem removing the Bonnet Bar off this bonnet, the captured nut
was spinning and I could not get the bloody thing off so I took it to Russell....
So to get it off we had to cut the bonnet.

Only a NOS, Nasco, Bathurst GTS Monaro, SLR5000 in "Pyramid Coral" so it's not a great loss...





On ya Rusty!....

It was stuffed were the bar was attached anyway Tim...

[quote="SunnyTim"]cool it was only a stinky pyramid coral one anyhow. Russell I am buying you some safety glasses for Christmas :
lucky i had shoes on usually i wear thongs no OH&S at my place

While Rusty's has my FB at his place for painting
I've been busy doing little bits for when it comes back.
This is one of them, restoring the headlight buckets....

So we have to clean these I guess..



Here we go 400 wet and dry and a bucket....scrub and rub...



Some peanut painted the leads, some people are lazy...









I read somewhere if you place rubber bits in a bag with WD40 it makes them more supple....



Finnito!.....



Cheers

Wayne,you will have to get Rusty to work a bit quicker there's a few cobwebs forming on his back
