attachicon.gifBoot Lid 10.jpg Underneath paint job is good enough for the RAT, and will need a new rubber seal.

 

Bobtail comes off, and the top of the boot lid will get rubbed back, and get a coat of 426 Protec etch primer.

 

 

Bonnet and Boot preps today, more pictures later.

Aqua Marine is a beautiful Colour.

 

Was the colour of my first Torana LC GTR in 1981:

The Pineapples I am putting into my last build,

 is to have all the fast bits I have learned about my seven Torana's,

 

This eighths Torana build, the 069 RAT is taking a long time to collect together.

 

Antique Gold interior on the Tags;

Got these door cards so far:

Took 6 years to find those LJ ones,
 and have had them two years now.
 
Will cut holes in doors for ash trays, and then be an LC with 5 ash trays.  :mellow:

I think this is the HG/LC wood-grain steering wheel and boss, but will suit the application:

Hi Dave, does it really need 15 metres for the harness for just one car?

Hi John,

I just did a quick calculation for a pair of 5 point ones going from the parcel shelf,

when I use to have them before:

 

 1800mm x 4 shoulder straps, includes fold backs for sewing.

 with 6 x 1000mm for the 3 lower pair bits = 13 metres

 

plus a bit extra, and send to a Harness maker to use, if can.
