Re: My FB Special Sedan
The to-do list is getting smaller and smaller
:
- Just waiting on the sunvisors to come back from the trimmers,
- Highbeams are a bit dull so Dad's going to sort that out,
- Seats and belts need to be bolted in,
and then we're off for rego on Tuesday

All the flash moulds are on now

New stereo's in

Windscreen went in yesterday too.



Seats got a bit of a freshen up and are back in the car.

And door trims.

I repaired the cracks in the steering wheel, ground them out, fiber filled them and then bogged over to smooth it off

And just got it back from the panel shop looking all pretty after a coat of 2 pack
So it's really very close now
Not a bad effort for 12 months of hard work, where everything was done at home in the shed. I really am very lucky to have my Dad
He's taken next week off work to finish everything off but is quite fine with not having much to do
..leaves plenty of time for cruising

Re: My FB Special Sedan
Let me be te first to congratulate you Shelley. Well done
Now go cruise the wheels off it!
Re: My FB Special Sedan
Finally!
Congrats on finishing, Im sure you love driving it.
Did you get full rego for it?
I think if Ratbox was around he'd have something to say about the way your numberplate is mounted though
