Coming together nicely Blacky, must be a good feeling when you finally stop pulling bits apart and start to put it back together.

I reckon I'm going to have the same problem losing bits after shifting down from Karratha, I can't see to find anything at the moment.

Catch you Sunday.

what colour is it hard to tell on my computer if it's gray, blue or green

8 months is plenty of time

but then it's going to be gray motor so you'll need a good month to get over here

so that gives you 7 months working time still plenty

nice work Blacky. Looking forward to catching up with you and the ute at the Nats.

So close ....... and now I cant get the spray booth until early next year

, am looking for another one otherwise its getting painted in the shed.

Diff is in , there is a front end under it but its not the proper one , it steers and the park brake works - enough to roll onto a trailer .

Got a few other bits done , did the steering wheel with marbiliser , the picture doesnt do it justice

Done the inlet manifold and rocket

cover

in one section the steering wheel looks pretty kool (i'de say where the flash has hit square on) so i'm guessing that's what the rest of it looks like, how come the later diff if yor going semi stock ? just because they're easier to work on and look better

? a booth would be good but plenty of good paint jobs have just come out of a shed

I am building it so it can be returned to completely standard , so no cutting , body mods , etc. I am not doing anything that cant be easily undone.
