Yep. I use the blue painters tape, but stick it to my shirt first to make it less grabby before putting it onto fresh paint.

Cheers,

Thought I had upper and lower spacers, but can only find the lower one.

Been a while since updates

Not much has happened haha , decided to take a rest after it came back from the painters .

I have this week off though and have got the ute booked in all week to make some progress.

Recieved the billet collapsible column and steering wheel back from billet works in WA super impressed with there service and product. We sent the steering wheel to them as well they have a guy that restores them . He did a cracker of a job the wheel was pretty far gone had pieces missing from the boss and heaps of cracks . As much as I despise white interior cars we went with land cruiser pearl white finish to break up the interior a bit , I think it should work well.
