ahh page 2 again, i gotta work quicker...

well filled, weled and skim bogged the orignal aerial hole...

Image

Then we started work on that dreaded Battery section, thanks to the section i got from Blacky at the start of my posting...No looking to special yet but it will get there...

Outside of the inner guard..
Image

Inner Section.. still bits to weld into the puzzle!
Image

and then ruddy's rebate money came in handy, got rid of the old e-brake setip for one of these...Lokar 11" to sit next to the shifter, all working with the bench seat...

Image

Image

Image

also a bit more brake booster work, and then skim bogged but haven't got to sanding this one yet...

just got a nice parcel form the US (cheaper than getting it from an Oz shop), billet ally Lokar eliminator throttle pedal and stainless throttle, also got the matching stainess sleeve kickdown for the th700, will take pics on the weekend!

also got the engineer coming around for an initial inspection on what's been done, so fingers crossed all is well!

cheers

Thanks mate, hoping to get that front guard section finished, inlcuding skimm bogged and sanded, i build the curves into the front section by hand, even my old man was a bit impressed :D


i'm happy with it, for someone who's never dont this sort of work before every weekend is a new learning curve, but i get in there and just try and remember how i've seen things done on other's car's and just go welding and grinding away (usually followed by alot more welding, getting burnt, then fixing the holes i blew through, then grinding... and finished with beer :lol: )

Cheers

Well me an the old man finally found time to get back on to the FB today and got a fairbit done....

Started off fitting up the Lokar in dash indicatior

Image

then got to work on the headlight speaker buckets...

Image

Image

Image

Image

And the tabs i mocked up on our expensive bender to sit the speaker in further behind the kick panels

Image

and finally with a 5.25 inch cadence speaker in there

Image

did a bit more work on the battery section, it still needs more work but its getting there, also did a bit on the booster mount up.

Image

Image

Hopefully will look at mounting the handbrake tomorrow night after work.

Cheers
