They took so freaking long that I primed one at a time before flipping the car over to do the other side..

After umming and arrring alot I decided to fill the firewall in where the heater box go's, I thought about it, and decided just to use electric heaters for demist only, the car wont have A/C as I live in Melbourne and only use it 2 days a year!! And it won't be driven everyday, so yeah, I bit the bullet and filled in that section with some new sheet too.

thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words

Nice work

Have you got a unit in mind for the demister yet?

Na not yet, I will probably just use a couple of 12v hairdryers or something and vent them into the factory system some how. The switches could also be incorporated into the factory location. But dunno yet, I'll look at it when doing the wiring for the Engine.

Cheers

Well thought I would pop the glass to see what was behind.....anyone wanna see what window sills looked like from the factory??

Nice work mate. And I love your rotisserie. Hope to see this car around when its done. Are you going flared or unflared?

Thanks Mick, Yeh I'm leaving it without Flares, not that I have anything against them or anything, but I'm keen to go for the Pro-Street look (without anything out of the hood) with the Mini Tub's Etc. I've been looking and the McDonald Bro's Clips thinking I might have a go at one. So yeah it wont have Flares, spoilers or scoops, I want to try to keep everything inside.

Cheers

[tefa]

Great job you are doing there
good to see you are having a few cold ones one the way
keep the pickies and updates coming

Ay Cheers mate, yeah I get stuck into a few! Like most of us I guess it helps us to think hahaha

Fair enough Bomber, I eye-balled a set of their Aluminum heads at my machinists joint on the weekend and they looked pretty good. I reckon the Dash 9's might be better but I wanna use the contacts I have. Apparently anything would be better that the VT heads as the walls can be quite thin for porting.
Having said all that, I have never used any of their stuff and have no reports on any of it either, so I appreciate the heads up.

Cheers

Well time for an update, pulled the front end apart and to some parts next door, my neighbor has a bead blasting booth
