Hi all.

HR front end...


After a couple of days at Malaga Rust Repairs






At the sandblasters ATM.... So will post more pic"s when it gets back.


The plans are (at this stage)..
Colour: Orange with air brushed 3D chrome stripes running down the side (replace the originals)
Engine: Worked Blue/Black 3.3
Trans: Worked Trimatic
Diff: Cut down V8 LSD Borg Waner 28 spline
Brakes: 4 wheel disc with Commodore stud pattern
Steering: Torana rack and pinion
Interior: 3 shades of grey
Wheels: 15x8 rear, 15x6 front

O, and here is the parts car.....

Looks like that parts car has had a good shunt up the rear, it's doors are sticking up in the air from the impact.
Good luck and keep the pics coming, Trev.

Well shez back from the sand blasters. And yes there are allot of rust that now needs cutting out and new metal to replace it. I hope the guys from the shop got close ups, as I didn't..

Nothing to out of the ordinary rust wise, just time consuming to repair.

Thanks for the pics guys. Will you be doing the rust repairs yourself Rob, or getting it done professionally?

Doesnt look too bad, seen a LOT worse

Thanks guys..

I used to love building cars. Now I find it way less stressful to hand it over to the experts.....

BTW, I work week on week off, live in a caravan (I'll put some reno pic's we have done on the van) and have a very young Girlfriend. So time and space is a issue with me.
Also trying to get a Shed up to put this in once the first lot of money has run out.

Ah yes, the dreaded Dr Who syndrome - not enough time and space...

I expect, with a young girlfriend to entertain, money will become an ever increasing problem too

LOL LOL you'd think but I have a great missus...

Here are some non car related Reno's. This is our Caravan.











































Next week the lounge gets painted.

You should go onto grand designs.
