Little update for you all...

Got it mostly back together now. Life has this funny way of getting in the way of stuff like building cars, but now I'm getting stuck back into it a bit...

Keep an eye around here over the next few weeks

It's aliiiive!

Got the dash in today, all the gauges work

Sorted the gearbox and clutch linkages out and bolted my extractors and carby up... Still have to sort out the throttle cable, but I tipped a bit of juice down its throat and it started on about the third compression... I love red sixes!

Tomorrow I need to work out why I've only got half of my lights working, slap the steering wheel on, finish reassembling the doors and hang them, and fill it up with premium!

YEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Got the drivers door done today, what a cnut of a job! Now both doors are complete, I've still got to hang the passenger side though.

Rang the exhaust shop, they're on holidays until August, so I'll have to wait until then to get that done... Might make up an exhaust until then, just so I can drive it

Took it for a drive around the yard and the back wheels scrub big time... Gunna have to chuck the stockies on and roll the guards until I get my new suspension in :(

Getting close now!

Both doors are on, I've just gotta pull the doortrim off the passenger side to sort out a couple of little things... Going to make up an exhaust just to muffle it a bit, until I can get one made in a couple of weeks... Rego tomorrow.

Still need a few little things, like sunvisors, and I need to put the stockies back on until I roll the guards and rebuild the suspension...

I'm excited!
