Yesterday was a big day. Im having a break after Cals car. Its really knocked me around.

a day or half day dave

Probably a half day mck. I decided to lay in bed all day today. That lasted till 10am when my wife started huffing and puffing so that was the end of that.

Yeah , Dave mentioned about painting it black. I wouldn't have even realised it should be black

Looking great guys..

You bewdy! That pic between the buffed and not buffed is awesome!

Can I have a lift to the NSW Club's Show N Shine Pete?

That and correctly mounted number plates and I am a happy man

Definitely right, black behind the grille is way beyond colours in appearance.

As for number plates he's under control. lol.

Nice work guys, looks a treat. cant wait to see it on the next run!

All sorted, Fatboy66

Dave started putting on most of the chrome and stainless trim, plus badges. Also changed the front quarter window rubbers












Another big job was getting the rooflining in, especially as this one was so old and brittle. What didn't help was glue that wasn't doing what it was supposed to do.

After a while, it was in



Plastic clamps from Bunnings. Quite useful at holding stuff together






Starting to look like a car again

Geez you're up early, Mick

Or up late looking at porn

my sleep is all over the place (f#%k i wish i could go to bed and sleep for 8 hours) usually go to bed 11ish wake up again around 3, so it's either lay there looking at the roof for a couple of hours or get up and kill time on the computer, go back to bed about 5-6ish wake up 8.30 - 10ish

Good stuff guys. Sounds like the headlining was 'fun'...

Not really

The fun with the roof lining started with most of the rods wearing through the fabric sleave so i had to sew therods back in. Once that was done no matter how hard i tried the glue wouldnt stick the calico or the roof linng to the body. Eventually the calico got thrown away and i sent peter to bunnings to get some different glue and some clamps. i rang a trimmer mate of mine who was really helpful saying he could come.during the week. In the end i said to peter lets have one more go. This time around it was pretty straight forward and it went in pretty well.

Still have to fit the front and back screens. Buff a couple of blends. Fit seat belts and the interior and the car is done. Hopefully saturday she will be almost done.

Lookin' good
