thanx for the comments guys

im a bit stuck at the moment

to put the door rubbers on, the doors need to be off, but i wanted to paint the car with the doors on

so i supose i have to put them on, paint, take off, fit rubbers, put back on

maby i should just paint them separate to the car??

today

it was about a thousand degrees

i nearly died of heat exhaustion just pulling some front end mountig pads off a front end for a guy doing a torana front conversion

yea RB it was hot but i was wet rubbing most of the day so had my hands in water

by the time i painted it had cooled down a little, plus the shed is double insulated

And it helps to have a beer fridge in the shed! last summer i was drinking warm vb cans! now i have a fridge

pic for andrew

i welded a little nut to the part that releases the lock, and welded a u shaped peice on, to clamp the cable onto, i need to get a cable long enuff to reach the dash, i want to use the choke knob as boot release.

you could do like me get a cable that reaches just ouside the boot floor behind the bumper and fiddle around under the car till you find it and hope there's no spiders
