Thread: Meet Max

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:


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.

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.

Hi All,

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



Meanwhile work is continuing on the drivers footwell:

















Getting there...

Cheers,
GG.
