Splashed a bit of red jam around on the bonnet today!
So far two coats, and weather permitting, another two will be applied tomorrow.

SubscriberPainting bits means you're very close now mate! Have you got the exhaust done yet? Surly the first drive can't be too far away?
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
Lord Jock
Yes getting close.
Exhaust will be done in the new year, have a bit of tweaking to do with the header pipes first.
I am looking forward to having a steer of it though and see how it gets along!
Cheers, Mick.

Paint! Very exciting!
It's coming along very well, it won't be long now!
Well done

A few pics of the interior! Light was a bit poor as it's parked in the shed.
A previous owner did the under dash heater vent mod, and as it's a good neat/practicable job, I intend to leave it as is. It also can be switched to feed air to the windscreen demisters, being fed from a series 3 heater box which is installed in the standard position, in the engine bay. The dash panel has also had a bit of "tweeking" with a couple of extra gauges added.
Cheers, Mick.

Yesterday I lined the second fuel tank with PVC Glue.
When I removed it from the vehicle it was very cruddy inside,
stale fuel, gunk, and lots of surface rust, so I put about five litres of water and a tub of Caustic in it then let it soak for about two weeks, rotating it from side to side every day or two. Then I flushed it out and took it down to the local commercial carwash and blasted the inside with the hotwash. It came up very clean. Next it sat for a week in our lovely hot forty degree temperatures to completely dry out. The previous tank that I did, I used the heat gun to dry it out, but that was back in the winter. I just left the heat gun running for about 15 minutes, it got pretty warm, you could have cooked eggs on the tank.
Anyway, yesterday I put some masking tape over the outlets and holes in the tank except for the drain bung, then I poured in a bottle of PVC Glue (straight, not diluted with primer/cleaner) and spent about fifteen minutes rotating the tank in all directions to coat all the inside surfaces. Finally I placed it correct way up on an even surface and let the excess glue drain out the bottom drain plug.
Here are a couple of pics, but there is not really much to see.
I will reinstall the tank today and let it sit for a while, as it won't have fuel in it for at least a month or three.
Cheers, Mick.

Second job of the day was to fit the leather steering wheel cover to give the old wheel a bit of a freshen up as it was showing it's age. I took the wheel off to do it, then went inside under some decent lighting to try and make the job easier. It took about an hour to fit and the result was rather pleasing.
Next job was to make up throttle linkages to the carby.
I wanted to stick with as much of the original components as possible, so just modified the existing arrangement.
There was a fair bit of messing around trying to get the desired amount of travel, distances, angles, and clearance from the carby, etc., correct. I didn't want a throttle that was too quick acting, but rather some good progressive travel. Anyway, I got there in the end.
I have to shorten the threaded rod down, but I can't do that until I get a 3/16 BSF button die, that I have ordered in town.
A few pics below.
Cheers, Mick.
