Everyone keeps telling me how easy it is. I've got one now so I can't wait to try it.

How cool is this!? Loving seeing it going back together. Nice quick turn-around on some of these jobs.

 

Looking really good mate.

I'm getting there fellas.

Interior is now pretty much complete. Just need two longer bolts for the rear of the console.

Nice office mate.

Finally got to weld up the rear guard cuts that the previous owners did.

Also stone guarded the inners. A bit more painting up front then put the flares back on, bolt a few things up then I'll be real close.

The engine is running sweet and I've have up to third gear back and forward up the street so that is awesome. Done 400 meters in it now LOL

Still a bit to do but ticking off the list.

New door locks in, lights in, carby plumbing all done and tuned, windscreen wipers now on, front panels all cleaned and treated and going on.

Big ticket items to complete are fill hole in bonnet and paint and paint and fit front scoop and spoiler.

I can just feel it now.

That nosecone is a rippa. Don't see many without rust these days.

Finally got to fit the front spoiler today.

I am very happy the fit is pretty awesome and after a final trim to shape and a paint job of Beacon Red it should look right at home.

The bumper in the pics is just sitting there and is hanging a bit so don't cuss me.

Final panel fit next ( mm here and there) and I now have some material to fill the hole in the bonnet under the scoop.

Loving the progress and updates on this. you're doing an awesome job on it.

Looks like you got pretty lucky rust wise with this one.

There are two small sections that sit behind the bumper but yes really good.

Thanks Hawk, appreciate it.

As usual there is a bit of the dreaded rust here and there but nothing structural and nothing that can't wait till I hopefully get it licenced. Cheers
