Meet Max

This sort of issue is why I prefer to do as much as possible myself.

Two reasons............. There is only one person to blame, and I don't have the PC or whatever temperament to just forgive laziness or incompetence or grafting anymore when I'm handing over the hard earned for a crap job.

That's a bugger - really tests the patience.

Hi All,

A minor update - here are some of the parts that I have slowly been accumulating -

C-Pillars re-trimmed:

The stickers that I made up - they aren't perfect, but they will do:

I had already bought a kit to replace all of the body mounts - I decided that now was the time to replace them, before it goes re-painted..

Some of the body mounts were in reasonable condition - some of them were absolutely horrible! Eeek

That's about it for now..

On the weekend I had planned on doing a bit of painting - but it rained most of the weekend, so I held off.

I picked up some parts from the Sand Blaster - I wanted to try them as the place has changed hands. The results are quite good - but not perfect, perhaps I am being too fussy? In the below picture you can still see a few bits of black stuff on the parts - stuff that I will need to remove before I can paint these pieces. The bracket that holds the overflow bottle has lots of little black bits. Of interest is the radiator overflow bottle - it's a weird metal, perhaps copper?

I rebuilt my air cleaner - old vs new paper elements. They are the same size, it's just the camera angle that makes the new one look bigger:

Rebuilt air-cleaner with the new sticker on it:

I am hoping to spend some more time on the project this coming weekend, although I am away Saturday/Sunday.. Maybe Monday.

Cheers,

Yep I believe so. Craig I think his name is - seems like a nice guy. They have moved slightly - heading south out of town (towards Melbourne) they are one driveway earlier than before.

They paint entire cars, and sprayed these bits in primer.

Hi All,

Not a huge amount to report - I had a minor crack welded up (front quarter panel):

Getting there... :)

Sorry to hear the panel beater stuffed you around.

But can persisting with cutting out the rust. Will be worth it.
