Finally had a chance to get the Fernando out of the shed. We have freed the engine up after much soaking. Will start it soon and see if it is ok, if so, we may clean the engine bay

Seats have been beautifully re sprung, new foundations and all of the old fleck trim resurrected, with some new boarders.

Daniel Mifsud from "A Stitch N Time" is a gem!

Thanks Jay, just waiting on the floor mats so we can put the trim back in after a quick tidy up.

I like that yellow Steve is that an original yellow?

[Aussie Bob]

Thanks HUC, the FB is rare original Nito/Duco Fernando Yellow. Because old original Duco did not weather that well, Holden changed to Dulon/acrylic "Magic Mirror" finish in May / june 1960. To find a factory sprayed original Duco finish these days is getting near impossible.

Thanks for your interest. I am watching your ute with interest.

Thank you,

Steve

Found some time to do some more on the Fernando. Getting the red dust out has been a huge task. Mountains of dirt......

Strips were full of dust as well.
