    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.

    Minor Update

    Hi All,

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

    C-Pillars re-trimmed:


    Reconditioned dash top:


    Famous Four door trim kit:


    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..

    Cheers,
    GG.

    Minor Update

    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,
    GG.

    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.

    Sorry to hear the panel beater stuffed you around.

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