Thread: Two Door Restore 1978

Outstanding! You have set the bar very high Mine will be different but I hope of same quality.

Wow. Well done.

it's a shame this is in NZ ... I'd love to see it someday. I much prefer the earlier interior and bodywork

seeya,
shane L.

Many thanks for the encouraging words all
Went and got a warrant and renewed the reg yesterday,must admit was a bit nervous sitting there at the testing station as they did a fairly full on inspection all over her.
Happily passed with only comment a couple of pinholes in left lower sill,phew!!
Glueing the errant rear demister tabs on today,using a permatex product from supercheap,will let you know if it holds
All trailing arm bushes and steering stuff next.

hi great job i had a mike hall conversion to a bob tail 1974 i miss it terrible well done

Great work Westy! Mind I noticed that your tacho only goes to 4 grand I bet you end up hitting the limiter at some stage

Meccles,,so true,already tested its limit briefly,still running her in so trying not to max the needle
Looking forward to seeing some updates from yours,engine close if not in?
Cheers all,appreciate it.

Westy yeah engine is in that is in my last set of photos. I actually supplied chassis back to paint shop as fully rolling, engine/gearbox/driveshafts/fuel tank all in place. They fitted body to chassis like that. To make sure I didn't scratch anything too much! Currently back at work (to pay for the thing). It is going back to Paint shop early Dec they missed a few bits that they will rectify. So mid Dec should have it back. But it will take time as all new wiring going in HVAC etc.
