I knew it couldn't have been right. But no one bit. This forum is getting altogether too tame.

Nearly done,

Small fiddly bits now but lots of them !!!!

Door cards needed modification so the clips sit properly !!!!!

GRRRRR F@$%**&&%^%#$%^ testing my patience, so after a couple of days head scratching I decided to remove the trim and grind some material away to let the clips sit flush and not push against the vinyl on the inside.

Chipping away with the limited time I have lately,

Glued in the quarter window strips, they seem to be a good fit although as we know nothing like the originals.

PS Steering wheel will be changed shortly.

That's the stuff Greg I used it to put my window weather strips, bit on both surfaces, let it go tacky and it sticks like shit to a blanket.

No Blacky,

Cleaning up and only want one of each spare. I have a 66 Mustang I bought a few years ago and I think that will be it for me here at my current location, if I ever get around to do it !!!!

Contemplating the big unload with these stupid real estate prices here in Sydney, if that eventuates, there will be a big shed and a business building cars possibly in another state, its what i love to do. FINGERS and TOES all crossed !!!!!!!!!

Disappointing result actually, not as many ponies as i hoped. I experimented with this engine and put 305 heads on the 327 but unfortunately that has made it asthmatic. It will still cruise around ok but it does need different heads, not now but later in the year.

Engineering booked so thats the last hurdle I hope.
