well i haven't done much today cause all my tools where in dad's ute

but i did clean most of the car out. Taking all the body pannels out and trims etc.....

only to find how much bloody rust there was lol.

here are some piccs

Also i got the ID plate thingie and the code inprinted on the body.













ALSO i found this little thing in the boot, i have no idea what it is called. But i took a picture as it is smaller then the one on the motor.

fuel pump of some kind?

Hey Jaz, it looks like a sight bowl/glass or if it has a small guaze filter in it then it would have been used as a fuel filter.

Good to see you working on the beasty!

Yeah for paint i plan to use the same colour that is on the car. For rims, I am going something like 17" or 18". 7" wide of course. For the interior i just plan to use marine carpet on the doors. And the normal carpet on the floor and keep the seats orignal and not touch them.

wow forgot about this and also forgot about the EK to lol.

well alot has happened since last time i was on here. I lost the key's to the car, that was about it lol..

But im gonna start cracking onto it more now that im older and have been working on car's alot longer now. So i feel like im ready to tackle the old girl. got a welder now too. which is gonna do wonders ...

Stay tuned for more updates as i do them..
